Description: Imagine you're given the chance to compose a piece of music for....solo snare drum. What do you do? How do you go about it? The last 100 years have seen an explosion in the amount of music written where Percussion is the star of the show - solo pieces for multiple percussion instruments, concertos, duos, quartets and percussion ensembles. In this video I look at the influences that led to this rise in percussion compositions, and talk to percussionist/composer Gene Koshinski about how to write a piece with no pitches and also how to notate it! ⦿ Support the Channel on Patreon⦿ patreon.com/davidbruce ⦿David Bruce Composer Spotify Playlist⦿ tinyurl.com/y798swcy ⦿ Follow me on Twitter⦿ twitter.com/davidbruce ⦿ Follow me on Instagram⦿ instagram.com/davidbrucecomposer ⦿ My 2nd YouTube Channel⦿ youtube.com/channel/UCHjcEVdMjIOOlVhtTRq4sDw Many thanks to Gene Koshinski youtube.com/user/flamacue24 #percussion #compositions Videos referenced: Gene Koshinski "Swerve" for Solo Snare Drum youtube.com/watch?v=XTC68YRgUQ4 Gene Koshinski "As One" youtube.com/watch?v=99N5ceqyirY John Cage Water Walk youtube.com/watch?v=gXOIkT1-QWY Mahler 6 Hammer Stroke youtube.com/watch?v=66ihI7Ijry8 and youtube.com/watch?v=6DEdq2WdFnU Opera Storm piece: youtube.com/watch?v=1yItpKx7KBs Monastery percussion youtube.com/watch?v=44gggoAk3XY Steve Reich Drumming youtube.com/watch?v=uDhwFTw4VnI Guatamalen Marimbas youtube.com/watch?v=qxmlC50TTSA Steve Schick on Solo Percussion youtube.com/watch?v=dJ6e08rxDpQ Ghana Drums youtube.com/watch?v=nVSiomfxsX0 Stockhause Zyklus youtube.com/watch?v=o9xxYJ8MzSs Cage Sonata V youtube.com/watch?v=jRHoKZRYBlY Ostinato Pianissimo Henry Cowell youtube.com/watch?v=fJKnWxsnjZI Varese Ionisation youtube.com/watch?v=wClwaBuFOJA Stravinsky Soldier's Tale youtube.com/watch?v=LMSOMBINNPM Baby Dodds: youtube.com/watch?v=1IMMeEWD-2A Feldman King of Denmark: youtube.com/watch?v=rZpa0WWAK5c Psappha Xenakis youtube.com/watch?v=F5UJALfLbeM DSO Percussionists youtube.com/watch?v=JVmxrhrN9ds John Luther Adams triangle piece youtube.com/watch?v=6ESz4B-uzBw
