  • awsome! congrats!

  • sorry, Mr. Prommel*

  • Very nicely done Mr. Rommel!

  • Great job on this piece! I happened to catch the world premiere opening night (Jan 1995)with Chris Lamb and the NY Phil, Leonard Slatkin conducting. Awesome concerto.

  • How much of this is written and how much is improvisation?

  • All written except for the solo cadenza near the end.

  • Sorry, actually the stuff with the shekere is improvised a bit as well.

  • great great prommel!! :)

  • I. LOVE. SCHWANTNER.

    My school's Wind Ensemble played this a couple of years ago. Is the original for orchestra or winds?

  • the original is for orchestra, the wind-version came later. yes it is a great piece.

  • I stuck a tomtom stand into the tom holder on the top of the bassdrum.

  • Hi Peter,

    Great cadenza at the end. Top! I have one question, how did you mount the bass drum on station 1. Best wishes Tim Palmer, Maraca2 Percussion Duo

  • ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! I absolutely love this piece. I am studying viola at Eastern Music Festival this summer, and I just had the privilege of hearing Evelyn Glennie perform this with the Faculty orchestra there. It's great to hear two different interpretations of this wonderful piece. I especially love the almglocken feature in the second movement; there's a pitched percussion instrument you don't see every day! Thank you very much for posting!

  • Joseph Schwantner's percussion concerto is the most beautiful, in my opinion. Your use of the shekere adds a tremendous effect. Your cadenza is astonishing and musical. I do have one question though. When does the composer call for the Javanese gongs that can be seen at 1:32?

  • I can send you a sketch of the cadenza

  • What orchestra? What conductor?

    Please post more percussion videos!

  • Radio Philharmonic, Netherlands, Pascal Ponse conducting
