A lot more joy and exuberance from this group and others who have tackled Philip Glass's music, especially see Uatki for their tramsformative playing. Bravo.

Fantastic ! thank you

[@MrJayballenberger]

Wow, so good! I don't know a lot of Philip Glass's repertoire, but it does seem like the chord progressions in this piece were modulating around a bit more. I love all the textures that pop out of the different rhythmic strokes that each player plays. What a fun piece to get lost in, brilliant work Third Coast Percussion!

Shostakovich wrote some "piece" for percussion. From opera "Nose".

It's interesting that Glass composed so well for percussion, even though this is by no means his best work. It lacke some of the driving patterns and textures of his best-known works.

[@user-kz9sg2cx6]

And, what about S.Gubaidulina's Glorious Percussion??? , - real Masterpiece.

Terry Riley just typed C in the comments and hasn't lifted his finger up to release the key yet. It's been a several months ...
