  • Ludwig Musser Concert Percussion 2013 Catalog
    Welcome to the world of Ludwig/Musser Concert Percussion. The instruments in this catalog represent the finest quality and sound in percussion instruments today from a company that has been making instruments and accessories in the USA for decades. Ludwig is “The Most famous Name in Drums” since 1909 and Musser is “First in Class” for mallet percussion since 1948. Ludwig & Musser aren’t just brand names, they are men’s names. William F. Ludwig Sr. & William F. Ludwig II were gifted percussionists and astute businessmen who were innovators in the world of percussion. Clair Omar Musser was also a visionary mallet percussionist, composer, designer, engineer and leader who founded the Musser Company to be the American leader in mallet instruments. Both companies originated in the Chicago area. They joined forces in the 1960’s and originated the concept of “Total Percussion." With our experience as a manufacturer, we have a dedicated staff of craftsmen and marketing professionals that are sensitive to the needs of the percussionist. Several on our staff are active percussionists today and have that same passion for excellence in design, quality and performance as did our founders. We are proud to be an American company competing in a global economy. This Ludwig Musser Concert Percussion Catalog is dedicated to the late William F. Ludwig II Musser Marimbas, Xylophones, Chimes, Bells, & Vibraphones are available in “The Chief.” His vision for a “Total Percussion” a wide range of sizes and models to completely satisfy the needs of beginners, company was something he created at Ludwig schools, universities and professionals.

  • Extended Performance Techniques and Compositional Style in the Solo
    EXTENDED PERFORMANCE TECHNIQUES AND COMPOSITIONAL STYLE IN THE SOLO CONCERT VIBRAPHONE MUSIC OF CHRISTOPHER DEANE Joshua D. Smith, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2008 APPROVED: Mark Ford, Major Professor Eugene Migliaro Corporon, Minor Professor Christopher Deane, Committee Member Terri Sundberg, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Graham Phipps, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Smith, Joshua D., Extended performance techniques and compositional style in the solo concert vibraphone music of Christopher Deane. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2008, 66 pp., 1 table, 8 figures, 20 musical examples, references, 29 titles. Vibraphone performance continues to be an expanding field of music. Earliest accounts of the presence of the vibraphone and vibraphone players can be found in American Vaudeville from the early 1900s; then found shortly thereafter in jazz bands as early as the 1930s, and on the classical concert stage beginning in 1949. Three Pieces for Vibraphone, Opus 27, composed by James Beale in 1959, is the first solo concert piece written exclusively for the instrument. Since 1959, there have been over 690 pieces written for solo concert vibraphone, which stands as evidence of the popularity of both the instrument and the genre of solo concert literature. Christopher Deane has contributed to solo vibraphone repertoire with works that are regarded as staples in the genre. Deane’s compositions for vibraphone consistently expand the technical and musical potential of the instrument.

    ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ 1 Triangle & 2001 Tambourine Rich Holly NASHVILLE NOVEMBER 14–17 ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Playing percussion accessories may be some of the most gratifying performance experiences you will have. Why? Because you can be creative! Although there are time-honored traditions on how to play these instru- ments, in the last 30+ years we have seen and heard several variations on playing techniques and available sounds. Percussionists from around the world, in classical, pop, jazz, studio, and world music settings have been discovering and utilizing these other techniques with great success. It is important that you know and understand the basic playing techniques and available sounds first. These will serve you quite well in concert band, wind ensemble, and orchestral settings. Many of you will have the opportunity to play percussion in a jazz ensemble or perhaps in a band of your own. That’s where these performance variations will really come into play. These variations are based on the performance techniques of similar instruments from cultures around the world, and today’s orchestral players are finding many of these quite useful, too. The most important thing is to have fun! Try these only as a starting point – there is no limit to the use of your own creativity. Triangle When holding the triangle in a clip in the standard fashion, it is possible and often desirable to muffle the sound of the triangle with the heel and/or the fingers of the hand that is holding the clip. The following ex- ample is one way to attain a useful pattern using this technique.

  • For Piccolo, Percussion and Viola
    UCLA Contemporary Music Score Collection Title hinge Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7dd5x8cp Author Mitchell, Christopher Publication Date 2020 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California hinge Piccolo, Percussion and Viola 2018 Christopher Mitchell Performance Notes- Duration- 8 minutes General Notation- Durations of pitches are indicated with solid lines. Each measure of music lasts approximately 6 seconds. (Note: these lines are also used as glissandi and pitch bends for the Piccolo and Viola, and bowed sections for the percussion). Quarter Tones- Sixth Tones- Piccolo- Whistle Tone- The fingered pitch is at the bottom. Although the fingered pitch and sounded pitch are always notated as a 'D' it is preferred that the performer attempts to allow different partials to randomly occur each time this figure is performed, which is dependant on the corresponding dynamic level. Oscillating Pitch- A wavy symbol is used to indicate the whistle tone pitch. The pitch should oscillate between different partials, depending on the corresponding dynamic level. Pitch bends- In most instances microtonal changes are accomplished through pitch bends with the embouchure. "Roar" fluttertongue- when indicated produce the "roar" effect. Percussion (Crotales, Vibraphone, Marimba)- Crotales- The highest octave of crotales should be used for this composition. If not available, the next octave down is acceptable, but the performer will have to transpose the pitches one octave down from what is written in the score. The Marimba is notated only in bass clef on one staff. The Vibraphone and Crotales are notated on the staff above the marimba. Pitches on the staff will either be marked as (V) for Vibraphone or (C) for Crotales.
