UAMusic | UAPE | Fall 2024

The University of Arkansas Music Department’s Percussion Ensemble will present a concert on Monday, November 11 at 7:30 p.m. in the Jim and Joyce Faulkner Performing Arts Center. The concert is free, and the public is invited. The Percussion Ensemble is composed of undergraduate and graduate students performing a wide range of literature written for percussion instruments. A fairly recent addition to Western music, ensembles of percussion instruments have existed for thousands of years in the non-Western tradition. Our concert on the 11th will feature the world premiere of the percussion ensemble arrangement of Robert Davidson’s “The Art of Agony: Percy Grainger (his voice as music). “The Art of Agony” is a segment of Davidson’s work “Stalin’s Piano.” Davidson is Professor of Music and Head of the Composition Department at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. Also receiving its World Premiere on November 11 is Yoshio Yamashita’s Angelis Lucis, a quartet for 2 vibraphones and 2 marimbas. Other works performed will include compositions by George Gershwin, Michael Colgrass, Philip Glass, Ivan Trevino, and Percy Grainger.
