Topic: Percussion (disambiguation)


  
  Percussion instrument - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Percussion instruments play not only rhythm, but also melody and harmony, and percussion could also be the only category of instruments that has musical notation in all three of the traditional clefs (treble, bass and rhythm- though sometimes bass clef is simply substituted for rhythm clef).
Because percussion covers such a diverse range of musical styles, rhythms, melodies and harmonies, percussion virtuosi are often some of the most widely skilled and accomplished musicians in the music industry.
Percussion is commonly referred to as "the backbone" or "the heartbeat" of a musical ensemble, often working in close collaboration with bass instruments, when present.

Disambiguation is apt: at a time when "ecstatic jazz" has become a marketing label for empty bluster, this quartet's concentration on precise quarter-tones produces a new, if sombre, light.
The verb "disambiguate" is defined in Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary as follows: "to establish a single semantic or grammatical interpretation for." If applied to this disk, then, the title suggests that Pandelis Karayorgis is attempting to define his music in a single interpretation.
Disambiguation is far too complex and far too worthy a disk to confine to one interpretation.

Always an innovator, Karayorgis sometimes runs the risk of inaccessibility when it comes to his compositional style, which seems to focus more on the placement of sounds than the melody that those sounds create.
While Maneri steals the show in “Disambiguation” as he covers the viola's range with remarkably rapid passagework, Malaby's technical wizardry on the tenor saxophone is nothing short of amazing as he jumps from guttural high notes to rich, soulful low ones.

Throughout their education, timpanists are trained as percussionists, and they learn to play all instruments of the percussion family along with timpani.
One of the first composers to call for a timpani glissando was Carl Nielsen, who used two sets of timpani, both playing glissandos at the same time, in his Symphony No. 4 ("The Inextinguishable").
This was the beginning of the end for marching timpani: Eventually, standard concert timpani found their way onto the football field as part of the marching band's front ensemble, and marching timpani fell out of common usage.

"The pertinence of the title should be inferable from the opening three measures, the disambiguation of whose polyphony, through oscillating stages of reorientation, recombination, and - ultimately - explicit simplification is primary determinant of the unfolding of this extended one-movement work.
The process is initiated immediately by the cello solo which follows those opening measures, and the multiple instrumental paths so begun have as their guide those opening lines, and their familiarly transformed derivatives, directly or genidentially related.
