FastKatelyn King and Harrison Ude, vibraphoneErik Kosman, marimbaThis recital is presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree Bachelor of Music in Performance.Ms. Lawrence studies percussion with John Lawless.Nebojsa Zivkovic - Suomineito (1999)Nebojsa Zivkovic is at the forefront of contemporary percussion compo-sition. A native of Serbia, Zivkovic holds masters degrees in areas rang-ing from music theory to percussion performance to composition from Stuttgart and Mannheim, Germany. Suomineito, meaning “Finnish girl,” is inspired by a Finnish folk song; the original tune is much livelier and Zivkovic has here chosen to present a more sombre, melancholic setting to the song. It marks a departure from Zivkovic’s typical compositional style. Leander Kaiser - Symplegades (2000)Symplegades takes its name from Greek mythology; the ancient rocks would ensnare and destroy ships attempting to navigate around them. This composition is based on the Greek myth of the voyage of the ship Argo through the Symplegades. It is said that if a pigeon can fly through the rocks without being harmed, a ship would also be able to pass safely. When the Argonauts reached the rocks, they released a pigeon, and as the pigeon flew through the Symplegades, the rocks closed, catching her tail feathers. The Argonauts then followed and, as the rocks closed, only the helm of the Argo was caught.    Johann Sebastian Bach - Suite in G Major (ca. 1720)  Johann Sebastian Bach composed the six cello suites over the course of six years. Prior to Bach’s revival in the late-nineteenth to early-twentieth cen-turies, the cello suites were not widely known despite their masterful em-ployment of Bach’s characteristic rich contrapuntal techniques and expan-sion of the idioms available to the cello in the then-modern performance practice. The Suite in G Major is a collection of five dances preceded by a prelude to establish the tonal centre. Perhaps the most easily recognized of the movements, the prelude has enjoyed much success as a stand-alone work in performance. Steve Reich - Mallet Quartet (2009)Steve Reich has been heralded as one of the world’s greatest living com-posers. Known for using techniques such as phasing and repetitive fig-ures, Reich studied at the Julliard School of Music and Mills College. Reich has also studied drumming at the University of Ghana and Balinese Gamelan at the American Society for the Eastern Arts in Seattle and Berke-ley. Mallet Quartet begins with the marimbas that interlock in canon. The vibes then present melodic material, first solo and then in canon. The piece was co-commissioned by the Amadinda Quartet in Budapest, by Nexus in Toronto, So Percussion in New York, and Synergy Percussion in Australia.
