The Rule of Three by Clif Walker is a large-scale piece for 20-player percussion orchestra, pushing the limits in more ways than one! This piece features 3 groups of 6 - drums, woods, and metals - with a bassist and pianist, leaning on a surging 16th-note motif that develops throughout to create an intense, blossoming energy. The perfect closer to a big concert!
