Excelcia‘s newest flexible release, Ensemble Builders for Percussion, Six Ensemble Works Playable With As Few As Four Percussionists, is a set of six newly-composed pieces from dynamic percussionist, educator and composer Robert Clayson. Written at an accessible grade 2 level, this collection – sold as a full set – is the new definitive introduction for the percussive ensemble.
“I have always been intrigued by flex band music, and have always wanted to see that concept put to use within the percussion ensemble format,” remarks Robert Clayson. “With Ensemble Builders for Percussion, ensemble conductors can mix and match both instrumentation and skill levels to create a performance that will be engaging to their students and audiences alike.”
Playable with as few as four percussionists, Ensemble Builders for Percussion can be expanded up to a full size percussion ensemble, and 13 percussion parts are included. Ensemble Builders for Percussion is an innovative, customizable release that is educationally solid. Educators or performers can construct each piece to fit unique instrumental needs by mixing and matching to find their perfect sound for concerts or festival performances.
Ensemble Builders for Percussion is available for $60 from music retailers and from Excelcia Music Publishing.
