PERUZZOLO - Manneport_Oct_26th

Rehearsal of "After Monet's Manneport (Etretat)" for percussion octet
Texas A&M University - Commerce - Percussion Studio
Dr. Brian Zator, director of percussion

After Monet's Manneport (Etretat) belongs to the cycle of works written after art paintings. This six-to-seven minute long piece for eight percussionists has a ternary form organized under two distinctive ideas. The first is mutable and ephemeral, representing the water. It also locates the listener in the landscape. The motive, characterized by the metallic sound of triangles, anvils and iron played loudly in conjunction, is recurrent in the entire work, although passing through diverse modifications. While new elements are presented, the motive is always kept in its initial structure, varying its timbre, duration, and articulation.
The second idea is rather regular and continuous, like a moto perpetuo, and represents the rock. This section has a driving accompaniment and the motive is now taken to the other instruments of the ensemble. The coda uses basically material of the first section.
The piece is inspired on the homonymous work by Claude Monet. It was written for and dedicated to Dr. Brian Zator and the percussion studio of Texas A&M University--Commerce -- USA.
