When Worlds Collide - Percussion Ensemble

In When Worlds Collide, the title couldn’t be more fitting. The multifaceted Rick Dior creates a mash up of numerous cultures and musical styles. The result is a tour de force in three movements as follows. Movement I: Ethnic Jazz Minimalism (4:45) Movement II: Afro-Brazil/European Bombast (5:20) Movement III: Afro-Cuban/Rudimental Fusion (9:45) If played in its entirety, the total duration of the piece lasts around 20 minutes. At its core, When Worlds Collide is a groove-base composition containing several aspects of the World Music genre. Improvisation also plays a large role throughout the piece which can be configured to feature one or more soloists. (It would also be a great vehicle for featuring guest artists!) The parts in this composition vary in skill level from rather basic to quite advanced. It can be treated as a solo feature for a talented drumset player or as a feature for the director performing on vibraphone and drumset. There’s plenty of room to make it your own and tailor it to the strengths of your own group. This piece comes as a professionally printed and bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or for tablet viewing.
