Simple aleatoric
passages help recreate the effect of an erupting volcano in this
powerful yet extremely playable composition. Using bass drum to
suggest the groaning of the volcano, the lyrical opening foreshadows
the wildness of the eruption, and in transition, students play any
notes and rhythms desired. As the lava begins to flow, a cacaphonous
ostinato appears over a menacing theme in the trumpets and low
voices. In addition to the regular part, an optional advanced snare
drum part is included for accomplished percussionists.
