Numericals

Alan Keown

Medium Percussion Duet

Instrumentation: 

• Bongos (pair)
• 2 Congas (may substitute with 2nd pair of bongos)
• 4 Wood planks (may substitute with temple blocks or wood blocks)

Numericals by Alan Keown is a challenging duet rife with mathematical combinations — from polyrhythms such as 5 against 4 and 3 against 2 to metric modulations and plenty of syncopation. The two performers face off as they layer rhythm upon rhythm on bongos, congas, and four wooden planks.

Numericals ships as a fully bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or tablet viewing.
