Paradigms”

There have been three distinct mediums through which solo percussion music has been composed since 1955. Each of these compositional motivations has arisen as a parallel to its respective historical context that inevitably gives relevance to these works performed today. Representing each of these periods through such works as Helmut Lachenmann’s Interieur I (1966), Franco Donatoni’s Omar (1985), Philippe Manoury’s Le Livres des Claviers part IV (1986), and Iannis Xenakis’ Okho (1989), Beauton offers a time-lapsed look into the history of solo percussion music and its compositional trajectory over the past half century.
