There are three &#8216;threads&#8217; that are interwoven in the piece: Arias and Preludes that focus on the metallic pitched sounds; Choruses in which drumming predominates; and Recitatives made largely from Cage-like &#8216;noise&#8217; instruments. The aims of the different threads are to highlight the wide range of qualities that percussion instruments are capable of, from lyrical and tender to forceful and aggressive, and weave them into one continuous texture.<\/p>\n<p>-Paul Lansky<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Annotated by JOhn Stapleton<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Threads (2005) \u2013 Paul Lansky Instrumentation: Player 1: vibraphone, timbales, doumbeck, crotales, temple blocks Player 2: vibraphone, noise-makers, low toms Player 3: glockenspiel, cowbell, agogo bells, claves, 4 un-tuned bottles, bongos, congas Player 4: metal pipes, flowerpots, high toms Composer\u2019s note: Threads, written by Paul Lansky for So Percussion in 2005, is a &#8216;cantata&#8217; for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/percdb.szsolomon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/percdb.szsolomon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/percdb.szsolomon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/percdb.szsolomon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/percdb.szsolomon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=282"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/percdb.szsolomon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":283,"href":"http:\/\/percdb.szsolomon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282\/revisions\/283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/percdb.szsolomon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/percdb.szsolomon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/percdb.szsolomon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
