IDENTIFICATION OF CONVEYABLE PERCUSSION DUO REPERTOIRE

Abstract

Percussion duos have unique challenges when compared to other instrumental groups. Many percussion duos form during undergraduate studies at a university. After graduating, challenges for these percussion duos include access to equipment, transporting equipment, and planning rehearsals, especially when living a long distance from each other. This study will explore award-winning percussion duos who have successfully navigated these challenges. The author creates a resource for percussion duos which identifies pieces that can be transported in a 15-passenger van. The resource includes three performance recitals with a list of equipment for each recital and a document with repertoire which includes duration, publisher, and instrumentation.
