Concert Pieces For Timpani
$15.00A timpani piece with a “difference!” The first two movements exploit traditional timpani techniques in a musical fashion, with the emphasis on sensitive ensemble playing with the pianist. In the third movement, ‘Fandango’, both pianist and timpanist add sections of hand clapping and flamenco-style heel stomping. A real crowd-pleaser!

Donnerkreis
$19.00“Donnerkreis” means “thunder circle” in German, a most appropriate title, since the eight timpanists (each playing single timpani) surround the audience. What a finale this would make to a percussion ensemble concert!

No Evil
$9.00Intermediate 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

Scenes From An Ancient Battle
$8.00An exciting, semi-programmatic work, “Scenes from an Ancient Battle” amply displays the timpanist’s technical skills, including damping, cross sticking and independence of the two hands. Control of the extremes of the timpani’s dynamic range is a must for this piece. Great choice for a contest, jury or recital!

Symplegades
$8.00A 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!
