percussion

The composer’s stunning brass and vital percussion push against the confines of his overtures, grabbing the audience by the collar and bringing them in close to hear every plodding, silvery note.

Complete with a soft percussion, cinematic chimes and heart-wrenching lyricism, listening to this track feels like waking up from a melancholic dream.

That theme — later orchestrated with a buzzing hive of strings, solo clarinet, piano and percussion — became the soul of the whole score.

“Tomorrow,” after intermission, contained 24 blissful minutes of bass, percussion, flute, guitar and vocal noodling over a recorded soundscape of environmental noise.

The rainforest envelopes all, the orchestra percussion rich and curious.
