ABOUT THE PIECE:
The basic idea of my piece José was born when I was listening to the recording Oriental Bass by the ethnic contrabass-player Renaud Garcia-Fons. I wondered many times whether it would be possible to present his fundamentally Spanish style with it’s Arabic and Gypsy effects in an original percussion composition instead of a simple adaptation. My answer to this question is "José."
Besides Garcia-Fons’s recording I also used a theme by Paco de Lucia in this composition. Marimba has the lead through in this short character piece almost exclusively: two players standing face to face play especially virtuoso complementary motives. Most of these figures are based on the traditional xylophone music of Africa. The players use techniques of amadinda and akadinda (traditional percussion instruments from Uganda) yet the scale they cover is typically flamenco-like at the same time. In the end these two players sound a real guitar as well, with the same technique. This rhythmical-melodic source is enriched by the playing of two other musicians who create many interesting and exciting sounds for example with the Spanish cajon or the favourite instrument of Gypsy folk music, the simple sheet-iron can and many more.
I dedicate this piece of mine to Josep Vicent, former artistic leader of Amsterdam Percussion Group.

ABOUT THE ENSEMBLE:
The University of Central Florida Percussion Ensemble, under the direction of Thad Anderson, Kirk Gay, and Jeff Moore, offers students a well-rounded experiences in all facets of ensemble playing. We pride ourselves on offering our students and audiences varied programs that feature significant works for idioms such as chamber, mallet, large, historic, and world ensembles. We also frequently work with composers to commission and premiere new works for percussion ensemble. Some of these recent projects have included collaborations with Marc Mellits, Jonathan Kolm, Bill Ryan, D.J. Sparr, Paul Lansky, David Bennet Thomas, Charles Griffin, James Norman, and Zack Browning. The debut UCF Percussion album titled “Patterns” is due out in November and will feature new quartets for two marimbas and two vibraphones.
Now if the Coats did a pit feature with the split parts like this, that'd be fucking hype.
True!
They did it, but nobody actually noticed it.
I think he was talking about them being on opposite sides of the boards.
Shawn Olson They didn't do that, they did do the doubles splits and stuff tho.
Idk why, but I'm particularly amazed at how crisp those quad groupings are at the marimba between the two people..
The massive wave of Bluecoats hype is stunning.
so many moments where I just can't help but cry out, "Woo!"
This is what happens when percussionists find acoustic guitars.
But Guitars are technically percussion instruments lol
@@davidsalas6874 Yeah. More string than percussion imo, but they definitely cover both.
@@davidsalas6874 are they? I feel like they fit in percussion and string very well. Feels like a hybrid to me.
I've always thought about guitar as a percussive instrument because typically it's played by striking the strings, whereas a string instrument like a violin or cello is typically bowed. I understand why it's considered a string instrument, I was merely pointing out that many people don't think of guitar as a percussion instrument as well.
those god damn splits on fire

The guy that plays the marimba is my percussion instructor at Satellite High!!!
This is awesome!
Did not want this to end
Really enjoyed that :)
Bravo! Well done! x
BLOOOO!!!!!! I can't wait to hear this on the field!
WTFFFFFFFFFFFF it's AMAZING D:
Belle composition et interprétation
I've been wanting to do this piece, but I just realized I don't even know what most of these instrument are...
BLOOOOO!!!!!
dang that was great :D
BRAVO!! ( :
Amazing piece! Love the splits on the marimba!
Sweet!
고맙습니다
Amazing! Go Knights!
I also love the roll on the log thing. Ascending through subdivisions, I wish I had control like that. It's like the roll in Rosetta stoned reversed.
DOWNSIDE UP NIIIIIIIIGGGGGAAAA
cool!
Bluecoats 2016 “Downside Up” and Colts 2022 “The Silk Road”
Impressive
Crazy splits by the way
Was she playing reversed marimba? Crap! That's amazing!
playing this piece, cant find good high pitched whisles :( suggestions?
Chelsea Catalone Hey Chelsea, the whistle I used in the video is actually just a thick ribbed bendy straw from a plastic cup.
Oh okay great thanks!
what are the federal rulings on marrying 4 percussionists?
how do you write this out?
What kind of stick did the cajon player use during the groove section at 1:48?
looks like two wooden spoons taped together
1:58 will they be marching kazoos this year
They should march Bagpipes
Sam Haas holy shit there was actually a band (a high school band, not a drum corps) who had marching bagpipes
What mallets are those?
I found the kazoo and whistles distracting but the rest of it, particularly the marimba, was awesome. Great job.
rackfocus Probably cause you were watching it. If you had just heard it and you didn't know it was a kazoo you'd probably like it more.
It’s a Sulawesian reed, not a kazoo.
Drum feature?
THE AMOUNT OF BLUECOATS PPL RN AHHH BLOOOOO
*BLOOOOOOCOATS😍🤩*
BLOO YE YE YE
YTSE YAM dream theater?

I seem to remember someone saying something about percussion is a non melodic instrument. 🤔
🙃
BLOO

Yo, whoever has ups in this is bae

BLOOOOOO
I’m not really a fan of “interpretive music”, but this was done very well.
They could march bass drum if they are that good at splits
blooooo!!
BLOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And we're all here because of bluecoats I see. It should be interesting to bad the only way I will see any drum corps is right here on the tube
Holy splits, batman.
Yeah that was some pretty dirty playing. Quite enjoyed that.
Blooo
#BLOO16
Bloooooo
Bloooo
The traps selections seem quite random in this piece. I'm just not sure why those sounds were chosen at all.
this is one of those musescore joke compositions that was never meant to be played
Oh god that poor guitar
sorry to be the first hater, but i sincerely didnt enjoy it. of course technically nearly perfect, but where is the soul, the emotion? i dont feel anything.
Eliáš Zerael Bauer I feel it, just not with the kazooo lol I feel the timbre of that thing just makes this sound comical rather than intense
Yeah the only thing I didn’t like about it was the kazoo
the kazooos where uneccssary and obnoxious
BLOOOOOOO
BLOO
BLOOOOOO
BLOO
