Daniel R Smithiger This month's topic for our FLAVOR OF THE MONTH category returns to the literature in Percussion Ensemble! Can you list at least 5-7 pieces that all undergraduate percussion ensemble members should have played????

John Cage - Third Construction (1941)
Thomas Gauger - Gainsborough (1974)
Christopher Rouse - Ku Ka Ilimoku (1...981)
Minoru Miki - Marimba Spiritual (1984)
Green, G.H. - any novelty xylophone rag (1920's ish/1924, etc.)

My favorites are not necessarily on this list, but these represented are wonderful pieces in our literature.

Best,

Daniel Smithiger

To ALL: I should re iterate - there are several percussion works in the repertoire that are amazing, and my list of 5 doesn't represent the ONLY ones I think are great, but merely to begin the discussion of pieces that are exceptional!
:)

On the heels of the Black Swamp Percussion Ensemble Showcase, and similar events hosted by P.A.S., it validates this type of discussion.
