I had the privilege of seeing Evelyn Glennie perform this work 10 years ago with the Orchestra at Temple Square, and it's a concert I will never forget.

It's spelt "Ottawa".

I saw the Nashville Symphony perform this piece live tonight. It was awesome!!! So powerful.

For a VERY amateur band musician, a really GOOD percussionist playing serious percussion instruments is a joy to watch. As much as we give percussionists a hard time, they get to have much more fun kinetically and more opportunities to show off than the rest of us.
-
Mr. Schwantner hopes to see orchestra percussion sections enlarged to 6 members in his lifetime. Well -No serious conductor is going to be convinced to enlarge a percussion section when he hears this guy's music - on the contrary he's going to want to reduce it!
-
I believe it has to be rented on the publisher's website.

You weren't "literally floating on air". You may have been happy, but gravity still applied.
-
I think Schwantner is, in every sense but nationality, this century's Ravel.

There are around 140 pieces that have been written specifically for Evelyn and no shortage of other pieces as well. Do a google search or write to the EG office for more info.
