Black Racer by Brian Blume puts four multi-percussionists together in an ensemble that uses instruments commonly found in a band hall. Program this piece to give a quartet of intermediate players a chance to really hone their listening skills!
Most of the piece is drummy, combining unison and groovily overlapped parts, but a section in the middle utilizes antiphonal glockenspiels.
