Chamber Music Percussion Quartet
SKU: PO.PE010S
Composed by Gareth Farr. Full score. Composed 1997. Promethean Editions #PE010S. Published by Promethean Editions (PO.PE010S).ISBN 9780958367998.
Perfect for percussion quartets seeking to add energy and theatricality to their repertoire, Volume Pig (1992) places Farr's sense of humour alongside his formidable sense of rhythm. Dedicated to New Zealand percussion master Murray Hickman and premiered by Hickman's STRIKE Percussion ensemble, Volume Pig shifts unpredictably between overwhelming noise and barely audible whispers, its intricate textures peppered with wild shrieks, grunts and howls.
