"Sunward/Onward" is a galop-style keyboard percussion sextet with three optional percussion dedicated to Dr. John Baldwin on the occasion of his retirement from Boise State University after 50 years of teaching. The piece draws inspiration from the poem “My Triumph” by John Greenleaf Whittier, which truly captures the essence of passing the torch.

Sunward/Onward (Mallet Sextet) - Nathan Daughtrey

What would it sound like if Claude Debussy had been able to score for the modern percussion ensemble? Dwayne Rice’s new orchestration of Debussy’s beloved "Clair de Lune" attempts to answer the question by faithfully and stunningly recreating the work for keyboard percussion ensembles. This new transcription employs the full color palette of the contemporary percussion ensemble and is an instant hit for performers and audiences alike.
