Innovative Percussion EDMGAM Game Over
Game Over by Dan Moore was written for James Campbell, Professor of Percussion at the University of Kentucky. The work is loosely based on two children's tunes, one American and one Japanese, and has a decidedly playful feeling throughout. The solo part requires a creative multi-percussionist, timpanist, and rudimental snare drummer with a good sense of humor. The piece is divided into three distinct sections designed to present the soloist in a vaiety of musical settings.
Instrumentation: Instruments listed were used in premier, but there are many other possilities(jibba-jabber, sound tubes, sound story book, happy hammers, bird calls) Bells, vibraphone, xylophone, marimba, snare drum, timpani, 2 wood blocks, large cowbell, 2 large concert toms, small triangle, tambourine, sleigh bells, 2 brake drums, drum set.
