Composed by Dan Heslink. Contemporary. Score and parts. 23 pages. Pharaoh Publications #6203899. Published by Pharaoh Publications (A0.935392).Sharks’ Teeth, a Game for any Number of Percussionists. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Dan Heslink
"Sharks’ Teeth" is a musical game, or contest, between two or more percussionists. It is based on rhythm, and can therefore be executed on any combination of indefinitely-pitched percussion instruments. Its execution relies on guided improvisation governed by preconceived thematic material and manners of elaboration. In addition to the two or more contestants, another musician functions as a Game Meister (GM) who controls that game’s progress and evaluation.
Enclosed are the game instructions for a contest of guided improvisation, and a notated example for two percussionists and Game Meister, "Shark’s Tooth." This score can also be played on recital. After reading the contest instructions, the composer recommends that contestants next play the notated example before attempting the game through improvisation.
Besides being fun to play, this game is also an excellent tool for fostering concentration, musicality, memory and an understanding of musical structure. The composer, Dan Heslink, assigned a difficulty level of medium, and can be contacted at dan@dheslink.com.
