This coffee break continues our survey of percussion, again listening to the avant garde sounds of Carl Neilson, this time his Symphony No. 6, a playful approach to nontonal music. We sample some wonderful compositions that use percussion in unique, exciting ways, particularly from composers Michael Torke, Derek Healy, and Warren Benson. We finish up with a lively piece from Malcolm Dagglish called Harmony of Earth and a piece for flute and marimba by Alec Wilder. Fun stuff.
