Description
Concerto for percussion and orchestra - piano reduction. "Tower focuses the action on the instruments themselves, using them sequentially rather than simultaneously; she explores the sonic possibilities of each one, from the lightest touch to the heaviest battery....Each instrument takes on a distinctive character and the orchestra reflects and amplifies it. The vibraphone is used meditatively, with its pulsing vibrato set against a hazy background. The high-hat is given a flamboyant solo cadenza that recalls its jazz temperament. Strike Zones is an episodic piece, but the episodes have interest." — Philip Kennicott, Washington Post
