Priapism
for trumpet and percussion by
Nicholas Papador
Priapism is in essence, an act of musical "dumpster
diving" that combines several "unfit" programmatic
concepts and appropriates them for absolute musical purposes. The
rythmic cells are derived by code from lyrics in G.G. Allin's song
"Hard Candy" from the album Hated in America. The
same "encoding" applied to the work's title is responsible
for the two six-note pitch classes found in the music. Priapism was
written for Endy Emby (Brian McWhorter, trumpet; Aaron Trant, percussion)
and was premiered in 1999. Priapism is fairly virtuousic
in nature and is the perfect addition to any college or professional
recital situation.

CAFFEINE
for vibraphone and 5 octave marimba
by James Armstrong
Caffeine
was a "spur of the moment" inspiration from a single
vibraphone ostinato which was later developed and scored for vibes
and marimba. Agitated, high-energy, and addictive lines make for an
exciting and challenging piece.

Vibraphone
5 Octave marimba
