n Aboriginal DreamsRoland Barrett. From
renowned composer Roland Barrett comes
Aboriginal Dreams. It is a multi-movement
work scored for 13 players (Bells, Xylophone,
Vibraphone, 2 Marimbas, Chimes, Timpani,
and 6 Battery). The first movement, Ritual, is
introduced with powerful triplets and works into
a sixteenth feel often breaking into passages of
syncopated unison rhythms. The second and
shortest movement, Rain, as the title suggests,
starts gently and ripples with fast layered triplets
ending as gently as it starts. The third movement
is called Sacred Earth, Sacred Sky and has a
peaceful, relaxed character loaded with rich
harmonies in the mallet instruments supported
by cymbal effects in the battery. Pitubi Dance is
next and uses fun techniques such as bursts of
thirty-second-notes and hand clapping to enhance
the head-bobbing groove. The piece finishes with a
movement appropriately named Fire. It starts with
an out-of-meter timpani solo and explodes into
a fast, primal melody. As the movement surges
forth, the phrases get passed between the mallets,
timpani, and battery leading to a huge four-note
ending. All of your players get a chance to shine.
If you only put one percussion ensemble piece on
your program, make it this one!

clearly explained in the score. Exciting stuff!
