Birtwistle - The Axe Manual (2000) (with score)

Harrison Birtwistle's piece for piano and percussion was written for pianist Emanuel Ax and percussionist Evelyn Glennie, and is, as the composer has said, "a kind of compendium of rhythmic devices". He also admitted that he was "interested in the idea of using ostinato to make rhythmic pieces without any melodic content." The result is, in the words of Andrew Clements, "a study in rhythmic layering in which the keyboard and the tuned percussion, the vibraphone and marimba, are treated like a single instrument, though one whose perspectives are constantly changing." Played by the PSAPPHA ENSEMBLE: Benjamin Powell - piano Tim Williams - percussion
