ClassicsOnline Home » MACKEY, S.: It Is Time (So Percussion) > Review List
plenty of formidably scored ensemble interactions. The piece has a diverse instrumentation, employing found objects, traditional instruments, metronomes, and more exotic components such as steel drums.
the package includes a DVD…that is a feast for the eyes as well as a bedazzling battery for the ears.
IT IS TIME is a meditation on the ephemeral nature of our existence. …an affirmative celebration of polyrhythmic activity, underscored by So Percussion’s ebullient virtuosity.
dynamic and unconventional but thoroughly engaging new work that doesn’t sound quite like anything else…fascinating, unpredictable (but not random-sounding), and often just plain lovely.
As excellent as the audio experience of the CD is, the DVD that’s included is even more fun. The set should be of strong interest to any fans of new music or music for percussion ensemble.
