Wanderlust for Percussion Ensemble
Wanderlust is a commissioned Percussion Ensemble work for the Open Dutch Percussion Championships (ONSK) 2025.
I had a deepening intention when composing Wanderlust. The work isn't incredibly complex, but it certainly takes some time and energy to master all the playing techniques and styles with refinement.
The conductor is challenged to explore the styles and playing techniques and perhaps find some sample fragments.
It's very in-depth and educational when specialists are brought in to help organize a workshop day. This strengthens the sense of community and everyone's individual knowledge and skills in world music instruments. It's a modest invitation to explore and explore beyond the beaten track.
INSTRUMENTATION
glockenspiel
tubular bells
vibraphones
xylophone
marimbas
bass guitar
timpani
drums
multiple percussion parts (instruments from all over the world)
Each association is free to choose its own ethnic instrumentation. It's naturally preferable to achieve the original sound as closely as possible, should certain instruments be missing. It's also advisable to borrow and/or rent the specific instruments from somewhere for the last few weeks.
