Catch and Release Rev Copy UCLA Contemporary Music Score Collection Title Catch and Release Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8rt3953d Author Zeitlinger, Justin Publication Date 2020 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Justin Zeitlinger Catch and Release for four percussionists 2 INSTRUMENT LIST Percussion 1: • front side of piano (keys, pedals, and tuning knobs), piano shared with Percussion 2 • washboard • lion’s roar • 2 glass bottles • small tam-tam Percussion 2: • rear side of piano (strings), piano shared with Percussion 1 (see “Preparation”) • medium tom-tom • suspended cymbal, laid flat on a trap table • 2 woodblocks (one lower, one higher) • 2 crotales Percussion 3: • small wooden table • larger tom-tom • styrofoam block (secured to trap table) • 2 guiros (large/small) • vibraslap • 2 cowbells (lower/higher) • small flower pot (should be higher than both cowbells) Percussion 4: • xylophone (see “Preparation”) • cardboard box (with open flap or side to bow) • cuica • 2 ratchets (very large/very small) • 2 temple blocks (lower/higher) • 2 triangles (large/small) 3 PERCUSSION KEY Percussion 1 plectra: • hands • hard beater • coin • tam-tam beater Percussion 2 plectra: • hands • superball mallet • hard beater • plastic card • 2 crotale mallets Percussion 3 plectra: • hands • a sheet of paper and sandpaper • hard beater • small, well-rosined bass bow • triangle beater Percussion 4 plectra: • hands • 2 hard beaters • small, well-rosined bass bow • 2 triangle beaters 4 In Catch and Release, the four percussionists patch together an array of diverse sonic objects to form a wonky, 8-handed “machine” that gets snagged in a “glitch” as it jitters along. Through various means of brushing, squeaking, and scraping, the machine begins to align with itself in increasingly persistent attempts to overcome the glitch—causing it to loop, flare up, reset, and even completely overload. —JZ Performance Notes Setup The performers should be set up in a semicircle, with first percussionist stage right and fourth stage left. The grand piano is to be set up between first and second percussionists, so that the first percussionist can access the keys, pedals, and tuning knobs, and second can access the strings. Noteheads Noteheads are used as a guide to the quality of sound being produced. Regular noteheads denote a striking sound, x noteheads indicate a brushing, scratching, or scraping sound, and square noteheads represent a friction or bowed sound. Struck sounds (except for mm. 179) should always be performed dead stroke. Preparation Use of a lidless piano is strongly advised. Wooden blocks should be placed flat to cover the entire highest and lowest sections of the piano strings to create a percussive, mostly non-pitched sound when keys are depressed, and to prevent ring when strings are played. A wooden block should also cover the two pitches used on the xylophone bars (G natural, A natural). For the 1st percussionist: The piano key “guiro” entails the percussionist running their fingernails along the tops of the white keys, or the beater shaft along the sides of the white keys, in a glissando motion. The location and length of the glissando is denoted by a bracketed treble/bass clef and x-noteheads. The piano tuning knob technique involves running one’s fingernails in a glissando motion down through the tuning knobs. For the 2nd and 3rd percussionists: Up and down arrows beside an x-notehead indicates direction in which to scrape (cymbal or guiro). For the 4th percussionist: The xylophone resonator “guiro” entails the percussionist running their fingernails or beater shaft along the xylophone resonators of the white bars in a glissando motion. The location and length of the glissando is denoted by a bracketed treble clef and x-noteheads. for OSSIA New Music Catch and Release 5 for four percussionists Justin Zeitlinger (2019) e = 136 (q = 68) Piano keys "guiro" b. 2000 fingernails Piano pedals ¿ ¿ ¿ ° 2 7 3 3 2 ¿ ¿ 3 ¿ 5 3 / 8 ‰™ 4 ∑ 4 ∑ 8 ∑ 8 ‰ÆJ J ‰ÆJ J 8 ≈ ≈ ‰ ∑ 16 ∑ 8 ∑ ∑ p p p Percussion 1 R "ff" violently depress and release all pedals with feet ¿™ ¿™ 2 ∑ 7 ∑ 3 ∑ 3 ∑ 2 ∑ ∑ 3 ‰ ≈ ∑ 5 ∑ 3 ‰ ≈ ∑ / 8 4 4 8 8 8 ¿ 16 8 ¿ mp p mp Tom-tom scratch with fingernails b-rush with fingertips - >. 2 7 3 3 2 3 5 3 / 8 ∑ 4 ∑ 4 ∑ 8 ∑ 8 ∑ ∑ 8 ∑ ≈ ¿ ≈ ‰ 16 ∑ 8 ∑ ≈ ¿ ≈ ≈ ¿ p p mp Percussion 2 Piano strings (highest section) superball mallet (slow circular motion) beater-butt bounce . 2 6 7 3 3 2 3 œ œ œ 5 3 / 8 ∑ ÆJ 4 )™ 6 4 ∑ 8 ∑ 8 ∑ ∑ 8 ∑ Œ ® 16 ∑ 8 ∑ ∑ pp non-espress pp Table sandpaper sandpaper Vibraslap paper 3 paper > - - >. >. - 2 . 7 3 3 2 j j j j 3 j 5 3 / 8 ≈ œ œ œ œ ‰ 4 ∑ 4 ∑ 8 ∑ 8 ¿ ‰ ¿ ¿ ‰ ¿8 ¿ ‰ ‰ Œ ≈ ¿ ‰ 16 ∑ 8 ∑ ¿ ≈ ≈ ¿ ≈ 5 mp mp mp mp mp mp Percussion 3 f (sec subito) 2 7 3 3 2 3 5 3 / 8 ∑ 4 ∑ 4 ∑ 8 ∑ 8 ∑ ∑ 8 ∑ ∑ 16 ∑ 8 ∑ ∑ Xylophone resonator "guiro" fingernails Cuica ¿ > 2 ‰™ 6. ≈ 7 ∑ 3 ∑ 3 ∑ 2 ∑ ∑ 3 ∑ ∑ 5 ∑ 3 ¿™ ≈ ‰ ∑ / 8 4 4 8 8 8 16 8 J 5 mp Percussion 4 ff Small Ratchet Small Ratchet > 2 ∑ 7 ∑ 3 ¿. ‰™ Œ Œ 3 Œ ≈ ¿. 2 ∑ ∑ 3 ∑ ¿. ≈ Œ 5 ∑ 3 ∑ ∑ ¢ / 8 4 4 R 8 8 8 16 8 mp mp Copyright © 2019 Justin Zeitlinger (BMI).

  • Piano Proficiency
    PIANO PROFICIENCY All music majors, except those with a keyboard major, must pass a piano proficiency examination demonstrating functional use of the piano. Students with a primary applied area in keyboard will not take the piano proficiency but will cover functional piano material in their course of primary applied study. Before being recommended for student teaching or attempting the senior recital hearing, every non-keyboard major must pass the piano proficiency. This examination should be completed by the end of the fourth semester of enrollment in secondary piano class (MU262). It must be attempted each semester thereafter until passed. Enrollment in secondary piano class is necessary each semester until the piano proficiency requirement is completed. Students who pass the piano proficiency exam before completing four hours of secondary class piano may take the remaining credit hours in either piano or organ. Students enrolled in secondary piano classes may pass portions of the piano proficiency material. In order to attempt a portion of the proficiency material in jury before the final semester, the student must attempt at least three (3) sections of the exam. The student will only be allowed to attempt a portion of the proficiency exam with the permission of the class piano instructor. Students who complete the prepared literature portion of the exam will be expected to continue preparing literature pieces in subsequent secondary piano classes. The MU262 Final Exam is the Piano Proficiency. It is a jury exam and is held during final exam week. It must be passed completely in this fourth semester in order to receive a passing grade for the semester.

Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2008, 44 pp., references, 19 titles. American composer George Antheil’s Sonata for Trumpet and Piano was written in 1951. This dissertation provides historical and theoretical information that gives insight into the interpretation of this sonata. Reasons why the piece deserves greater attention with respect to the standard twentieth century trumpet literature are also given. Antheil’s music was influential in the development of classical music in the first half of the 20th century and, more specifically, contributed to the establishment of an American style of classical music. Composed near the end of his life, this sonata has its roots in this heritage. The understanding of Antheil’s history, motivations, and compositional techniques is intended to help bring a performance of this sonata to its full potential.

  • The Percussion Family
    The Percussion Family The percussion family is the largest family in the orchestra. Percussion instruments include any instrument that makes a sound when it is hit, shaken, or scraped. It's not easy to be a percussionist because it takes a lot of practice to hit an instrument with the right amount of strength, in the right place and at the right time. Some percussion instruments are tuned and can sound different notes, like the xylophone, timpani or piano, and some are untuned with no definite pitch, like the bass drum, cymbals or castanets. Percussion instruments keep the rhythm, make special sounds and add excitement and color. Unlike most of the other players in the orchestra, a percussionist will usually play many different instruments in one piece of music. The most common percussion instruments in the orchestra include the timpani, xylophone, cymbals, triangle, snare drum, bass drum, tambourine, maracas, gongs, chimes, celesta, and piano. The piano is a percussion instrument. You play it by hitting its 88 black and white keys with your fingers, which suggests it belongs in the percussion family. The piano has the largest range of any instrument in the orchestra. It is a tuned instrument, and you can play many notes at once using both your hands. Within the orchestra the piano usually supports the harmony, but it has another role as a solo instrument (an instrument that plays by itself), playing both melody and harmony. Timpani look like big polished bowls or upside-down teakettles, which is why they're also called kettledrums. They are big copper pots with drumheads made of calfskin or plastic stretched over their tops.
