Blue Alert Percussion Trio
SKU: HRPE146
Description
- Composer: Robert S. Cohen
- Publisher: HoneyRock
This challenging trio is the second movement of Homeland Security Suite for Percussion. [Three Players - Duration ca. 7' 03"] Glockenspiel, Vibraphone, Marimba. BLUE ALERT (General Risk of Terrorist Attack) explores the interplay between the three tuned mallet percussion instruments. Tension is created by a repeated one-note figure that is punctuated by percussive semi-tones. It is the constant build of these semi-tones that becomes the metaphor for heightened risk as well as a musical representation of the hustle and bustle of New York City itself. Throughout the work, we hear snippets of well-known songs that reference New York City including: "New York, New York" (both the On the Town and "Sinatra" versions); "On Broadway" and "Autumn in New York."
