The PAS New Music/Research Committee is pleased to announce a call for proposals Xymox Percussion 49 for presentation/performance at the 2008 PASIC Focus Day, Wednesday, November 5, 4230 E. Airport Drive #107 in Austin, Texas. Ontario, CA 91761 Phone: 909-605-1818 Fax: 909-605-1818 The theme for the day is “Out of Africa: Exploring African Influence in Contemporary E-mail: [email protected] Web: www.xymoxpercussion.com Percussion Music.” Drum pads, drum mutes, and practice equip- ment. The committee seeks proposals for performances (solo and ensemble) and other presentation formats, in order to explore and celebrate the influence of African music Yamaha Corporation of America 6/101 and instruments on 20th and 21st century percussion music. The African “connec- 6600 Orangethorpe Avenue tion” may be present in the composition itself (e.g. ’s “Music for Pieces Buena Park, CA 90620 of Wood”), and/or in the instruments used (e.g. ’ “Okho” for three Phone: 714-522-9521 Fax: 714-522-9475 Web: www.yamaha.com/band djembes). We are not seeking transcriptions of African for a Western A complete line of concert, marching and percussion ensemble, but rather, original compositions inspired by African musics, student percussion instruments. instruments, and/or aesthetics. Proposals including compositions or instruments with an Afro-Brazilian, Afro-Caribbean, or Afro-Cuban influence will be considered, with preference given to those with the strongest African connection.

The committee is particularly interested in showcasing solo and ensemble works for various , especially frame drums (tar, riq, pandiero, etc.) and hand drums (doumbek, djembe, congas, etc.). We are also interested in mallet keyboard works (marimba, xylophone, etc.) that are uniquely influenced by African music, and innovative compositions that feature such as the kalimba or mbira. There are no limitations on instrumentation. Works may also include a dance element that can be integrated on the stage, although a dance floor will not be provided. The main thrust of the day will be on new and original music. In addition, the committee also seeks one presentation that will summarize the dissemination of African music and culture to the Americas (Cuba, , Brazil, the United States, and elsewhere), and ultimately it’s influence on 20th and 21st century percussion art music. Similarly, the committee is considering the inclusion of one traditional (folkloric) African drum- ming ensemble that utilizes traditional instruments (and possibly dance).

The New Music/Research Committee is looking to significantly expand the knowledge of the PAS community concerning African influence on our repertoire and instrumen- tation, to pay homage to the source of much of our percussion music, and to generate new works that reflect African musical forms, compositional styles, or instruments. As always, the committee seeks the interest and participation of both emerging and established composers, scholars, and performers. All proposals that qualify for inclu- sion on the 2008 PASIC Focus Day will be given complete and careful consideration.

Please note: expenses and the securing of instruments and funding sources will be the sole responsibility of the artist(s). This includes the logistical and financial considerations involved with additional performers. Please prepare and submit your proposal with this consideration. A completed application must be included for pro- posal to be reviewed.

Armand Zildjian (1921-2002)

Armand Zildjian’s introduction into the world of music came at a very early age. Born into the Zildjian family with a 350-year-old tradition of cymbal craftsmanship, it was always understood that Armand would follow his father Avedis into the family business. For Armand, it was an honor to match cymbals for the great symphonies and to collaborate with the greatest drummers of the day to develop the new cymbal sounds musicians were looking for.

In receiving his honorary Doctorate from Berklee College of Music in 1988, Armand told the Berklee students how very fortunate they were to have the op- portunity to study contemporary music. “In my day”, said Armand, “the classroom was primarily the nightclubs where all the great musicians learned from each other.”

As a charter member of the Percussive Arts Society and a 16 year Trustee of Berklee College, Armand sought to create more learning opportunities for today’s musicians both in contemporary and classical music. The PAS Armand Zildjian Percussion Scholarship is one step in fulfilling that quest. PAS Armand Zildjian Percussion Scholarship
