In the Brazilian music literature of the 19th century, the percussion set of some scores was described with a rather pejorative word: pancadaria, which means, literally, rumble. The title of this piece
refers ironically to this curious historical terminology, based on the fact that a great part of Pan-cada(s) deals with loud strokes along with very quiet textures. Furthermore, other senses are
equally evoked in its title: pan versus cada stands for the opposition between the whole (pan) and each (cada) percussion player (concerning also a totally wrong use of the word each = “eaches”, for
cada = “cadas”); pancada (stroke) versus pancadas stands for the opposition between a unique, enormously loud stroke given at the large tam-tam (the only instrument – together with the angklung
– which does not belong here to the membrane percussion family and which is performed either by the conductor or by an extra percussionist who does not belong to the instrumental
ensemble and who comes surprisingly on stage just to play this single sound) and the many strokes as accentuated notes throughout the piece; and finally the fact that pancada, in Portuguese, also
means, in colloquial language, “crazy” – the possibility to have this word either in the singular or in the plural refers to a basic doubt: if “crazies” are all percussion players in the piece or “crazy”
is just that one who plays the large tam-tam (the word tantã in Portuguese, by the way, also means “crazy”) or, maybe, just the composer himself, that is, me!
Pan-cada(s) – textural and rhythmic study for percussion ensemble, was commissioned by the most important percussion ensemble and percussion school of Brazil, PIAP – Grupo de Percussão do
Instituto de Artes da Unesp, São Paulo State University. It is dedicated to PIAP and to its founder and Director/Conductor, John Boudler, and was written, on and off, between January and
August 2009.
