"Spine" by Michael Laurello | Vanderbilt Percussion Group

A single line runs through most of the piece, and virtually all of the musical material is derived from it. This meta-line, often articulated by Percussion 1, serves as the spine of the music, both in structural terms (backbone), but also with respect to the line’s perceived control over the direction and progression of the music (central nervous system). The material played by the supporting members of the quartet colors and punctuates this main line. Over the course of the work, players drift in and out of agreement with one another, and, occasionally, the primary line loses its unique identity within the texture of the ensemble. I tried to impart an almost biological sense to the way motives grow, attempting to balance intuitive, almost improvisatory, types of development with more structured patterns and processes. Spine is dedicated to the members of the Yale Percussion Group for their unwavering support.
