From the Manor to the Heights

Jason Baker

Medium-Advanced Multipercussion Solo

Instrumentation: 

• Snare drum
• Bass drum (flat and dampened)

Composed for one player utilizing a snare drum and a bass drum by Jason Baker, this is like an old-school rudimental duet, but not. The side-by-side placement of the drums creates a nice visual touch, and the timbre changes provide plenty of sonic interest. The work’s title is drawn from the names of two neighboring Connecticut subdivisions, and players are sure to enjoy the trip From the Manor to the Heights.
