Analysis - Percussion Name Title of piece Composer Arranger Key signature and Time Signature: Find the key signature of this piece; does it change? Yes No Find the time signature of this piece; does it change, and if so what changes and what stays constant? In the staff below write out your clef, initial key signature and time signature. If you have changes, please indicate those with a bar line and write out the new key signature and/or time signature. If your piece is in multiple movements please indicate the movement number above the bar line. Timpani: What notes will you tune the timpani to? Be sure to include the clef and time signature. Does the tuning change, if so indicate the new notes after a bar line. Identify rhythms that are difficult for you and write in the counting. Pay close attention to stickings that are marked in – it is expected that you will perform stickings accurately. Identify musical instructions: Musical term or symbol Meaning Percussion instruments use many distinct stroke styles. Listed below are several examples, indicate which ones you will use in your selection. Accent – The accented note has weight or emphasis. Determine your accent stick height, then use a lower stick height for all unaccented notes. Buzz or Multiple Bounce Roll – Concert rolls are notated with 3 short diagonal lines or a “z” imprinted on the stem. Flam – This rudiment expands the beat. The large note or primary note is played on the beat. The small note or grace note falls just before the beat. Dampening - This technique is used to play notes marked staccato (especially bass drum and timpani). Let Vibrate (l.v.) - Let the sound ring freely without being dampened. Rim – Play on the rim or counter hoop using the shoulder of the drumstick. Rim Shot (r.s.) – Place the left drumstick tip on the drumhead while resting the body of the stick on the rim. Strike the right stick across the body of the left stick. Stick Click – Produced by raising both drumsticks face high, then striking one stick across the other. How does the composer use stroke styles to enhance the character of the piece? Music is expressive and communicates an emotion or affect. This is done with volume or dynamic contrasts, nuance or tone color changes, and articulation. These changes may range from sudden and abrupt to slow and subtle. Use adjectives to describe the mood of the piece. Does the mood change in various sections of the piece? If so, how? What emotion(s) or affects are you trying to convey in your performance? Musical form refers to the type of composition or structure of a piece of music. Very often you can find clues to determine the form of a piece by looking at the title or tempo marking. What best describes the form your piece? Facts about the composer: Name: March Folk Song Still living? If not, year died?
