Concerto for Five Timpani and Orchestra Op. 31

Available For Rental Only

This concerto is destined to become one of the most important and often-performed works in the solo timpani literature. Although it was composed and premiered by the National Symphony Orchestra in the 1960s, it has been unpublished and unavailable until it was “rescued” by Leigh Howard Stevens (at the composer’s request).

Four Grotesques for Timpani

$9.00$10.00

No Evil

$9.00

Intermediate to advanced technique is required for a successful performance of this theatrical timpani solo. Each movement is about two minutes in length, making the entire three-movement suite appropriate for the undergraduate timpanist. This composition should be performed as an entire unit and would be an excellent selection for a junior or senior undergraduate recital.- Jim Lambert, Percussive Notes

Symplegades

$8.00

A dramatic portrayal of an incident from the legend of Jason and the Argonauts, Symplegades is a highly effective composition. The use of different striking areas of the timpani, as well as of various sticks and mallets, extends the timbral colors of the instrument. Requires power, control, subtlety and finesse!

The Storm

$8.00

‘The Storm’ is for four timpani and suspended cymbal, which is, at times, placed on one of the timpani. The outer sections are in a driving 5/8, with a slow cadenza-like middle section for contrast. Great contest or audition solo for a developing timpanist!
