"I. Memories from Childhood" from "Sonata for Percussion" by Tigran Hamasyan. Third Coast Percussion

"I. Memories from Childhood" from "Sonata for Percussion" by Tigran Hamasyan. Performed by Third Coast Percussion: Sean Connors, Robert Dillon, Peter Martin, and David Skidmore. Audio: Colin D Campbell Video: Four/Ten Media: Kevin Eikenberg, Christopher McDonald While he has built a career as a performer of his own music Hamasyan’s work has started to be available to other performers in recent years, first as sheet music of his solo piano worksand now in the form of new compositions written for other performers. In particular, he seems a natural choice for composing for a contemporary percussion ensemble, as his creative voice plays with extremely complex rhythmic cycles. His Sonata for Percussion puts this rhythmic vocabulary inside a traditional classical music form, and Hamasyan’s asymmetrical rhythms are interwoven into compelling counterpoint. His great power as a composer is that the individual musical lines are always melodies in their own right, transcending the mathematics of their complex rhythmic skeletons, even in the final movement “23 for TCP,” which overlays different subdivisions of the 23/8 time signature. Sonata for Percussion by Tigran Hamasyan was commissioned by Third Coast Percussion for its 20th Anniversary, with support from Elizabeth and Justus Schlichting, the Zell Family Foundation, the Maxine and Stuart Frankel Foundation, the Julian Family Foundation, and Steph and Daniel Heffner.
