Partials

by Alan Keown

Medium/Advanced Concert Percussion

4 Players

Instrumentation: 

• 4 bass drums
• 4 sets of bongos

Dedicated to legendary percussionist and educator Charles Dowd, Alan Keown’s Partials is a drummy, raucous work for unpitched percussion quartet. Each of the four players has an identical setup of one bass drum and a set of bongos. Via metric modulations, frequent conversation and trading of accent patterns around the ensemble, and bombastic unisons, Keown tips his hat toward two of Dowd’s favorite pieces: Lift-Off! by Russell Peck and Rip-Off by Rick Kvistad.
