Classical Percussion

Classical percussion is a dynamic and expressive genre that encompasses a vast range of instruments, from marimbas and xylophones to timpani and snare drums. It celebrates the rhythmic intricacies and tonal colors that percussion instruments can offer, often showcasing virtuosic performances that weave melody and harmony through the striking of surfaces. Compositions in this genre, crafted by creators like Keiko Abe and Ney Rosauro, are characterized by a blend of technical precision, musical creativity, and sometimes the incorporation of unconventional sounds and structures. Ensembles like Sandbox Percussion have introduced a new energy and avant-garde edge to the genre, while soloists such as Eric Sammut and Pius Cheung have expanded the repertoire with arrangements and original works that demonstrate the melodic potential of percussion.
