Escape X Series

product category

The Escape X Publication Series contains many of the commissions by the Escape X Percussion Duo (Dr. Annie Stevens and Dr. Andrea Venet). Escape X has commissioned works by many top percussion (and non-percussionist) composers, including: Michael Burritt, Joe Locke, Stephen Ridley and Drew Worden. While the fundamental basis of each composition remains a keyboard percussion duo, non-pitched percussion instruments (including concert toms, ribbon crashers, and ankle bells) often find their way into the instrumentation as well.

Meteor

$34.00$40.00

This piece attempts to create a kind of wavering sustain by tasking each marimba with a similar-but-different part in the same register. That sound inspired the name of the work. The title is also meant to hint at the two most important musical forces in the piece: meters and mediants.
