The Harrison Modes (Christopher Whyte)

electric cathedral is a three movement continuous work that features the Pearl malletSTATION in a new, concerto-style role, accompanied by percussion quartet and smartphone playback. The soloist takes on different instrumental characteristics through use of MainStage and its plug-and-play native library of sounds, effects, and capabilities. The percussion quartet, serving more than just accompaniment, integrates well with the malletSTATION soloist to create an immersive, meditative, and eventually driving atmosphere.

electric cathedral was commissioned by a consortium of high schools and universities led by Dr. Tommy Dobbs and the Oklahoma City University Percussion Ensemble.

electric cathedral, solo malletSTATION and Perc. Quartet [Logic Pro Mock-Up]

Tour de Force, at its most fundamental level, employs musical material with no substance or narrative composed for the mere sake of sounding sophisticated. This piece turned out to be not only a one that requires elegant technique and musicality but also a relentless mental exercise of ensemble awareness, timing, and endurance. My biggest goal was to compose a piece that would contribute to the percussion ensemble repertoire, and to create one so bold that it would truly live up to its name.

Tour De Force, for 12 Percussionists [Logic Pro Mock-Up]

The Sentinel stands watch at the entrance of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Through day and night and rain or shine, they protect the tomb of those that paid the ultimate price for their country. Musically speaking, the piece juxtaposes the celebratory fanfare commonly found in patriotic music. The intense music tells a story of unwavering focus and forward motion, all while paying tribute to these Unknown Soldiers and their forthcoming Sentinels today and into the future.

The instrumentation is widely flexible from a quartet of drums to a full percussion ensemble and beyond to a full concert band. This is not only to provide flexibility to a wide variety of performing ensembles, but it also represents the ever-expanding body of different services, roles, and individuals in the various branches of the military. This piece further pays homage to service bands and musicians across the country.
