Performing Omnes Trio by Andrea Venet (2019)

A note from the composer:

Omnes Trio, the Latin translation of ‘Trio for All,’ was written as an expression to promote equality within the percussion field. With a homogeneous instrumentation and shared setup, the piece is characterized by hocketed rhythmic lines, grooves traded between players, and soloistic passages that create rapidly flowing textures and quasi-melodic lines. The elegiac opera gong motive serves as a sonic cushion between dark silence and intensive waves of rhythm.
