	Spirit of Percussion Rattles
		Rattles are used to heal, to speak as the voice of a deity, and to activate the properties of magickal objects such as herbs, beads, stones, etc. by sounding them.
		Rattles form one of the instrument types on the "high end" of the percussion ensemble we usually use (the others being the bell and clapping sticks or claves).
		Rattles also give an individual a non-athletic way to stay engaged at the fire, and is just as important as drumming or dancing.

	NPR: Performance Today -- Simon Rattles Beethoven
		Sir Simon Rattle brings PT listeners on an exclusive travelogue through his remarkable EMI set of live recordings with the Vienna Philharmonic of all nine of the Symphonies by Beethoven.
		With Beethoven as the central figure of the work, Rattle suggests that the second movement is a "funeral march for all his hopes of how his life would be." But, after the first two vast movements of struggle and pain, the symphony becomes lighter and returns to joy, wit and humour.
		Beethoven himself called it his "little Symph." Sir Simon Rattle is leading us through the complete cycle of Beethoven symphonies, and we're hearing his vision of these works, in concert perfs by the Vienna Phil from the spring of 2002.

		Reyes' group is the perfect concluding act: his harp is loud and vibrant, his act and approach flamboyant in strong contrast to the delicate precision of some of the preceding acts.
		When six percussion instruments get going, the beat is irresistible: by then the entire front of the stage fills with dancers young and old.
