OBU Faculty Percussion Recital
The concert will open with “Animism for Prepared Timpani and Tape” by Stephen Ridley, which involves “ironically asking the live performer to produce computer-like sounds,” Lewis explained, “while the accompanying tape part produces sounds like drums, rattles, shakers and log drums.”
The recital will also feature two vocal pieces that have been arranged for percussion solo, including Lewis’ marimba arrangement of “Christ Lay in Death’s Dark Prison” by J.S. Bach and Gary Werdesheim’s vibraphone arrangements of Gustav Mahler’s “I breathed a gentle scent” and “I have become lost to the world” from “Two Songs from Ruckertlieder.”
The solo recital will be held in Mabee Fine Arts Center’s McBeth Recital Hall on Ouachita’s campus and is free and open to the public.
