Shake, Rattle, and Roll!

What this episode covers

Music at the Whitney and Yale College New Music present chamber works composed by Yale College students and faculty, performed with members of the Yale Percussion Group. This program features an interesting sonic variety and several different percussion setups: mallet keyboard, suitcase percussion, and a mixed quartet. The student compositions include “Duettino” by Andrew Davis, “Particular Features of the Tule Elk” by Ryan Harper, “Gear Shift” by Stephen Feigenbaum, “…mallet merengue” by Alexander Weiser, and “Play Nice” by Jamie van Dyck. The final work, “Dreams and Reveries,” by faculty codirector Kathryn Alexander, explores the juxtaposition of “found sound”—created with flowerpots, beercan racks, and metal pipes—with more traditional instruments.
