Ostinato Pianissimo by Henry CowellJoe W. Moore III2013-10-30 | Ostinato Pianissimo by Henry Cowell Performed by Hamiruge - The LSU Percussion Group Conducted by Sam Trevathan Louisiana State University, School of Musicwith liberty...Joe W. Moore III2022-02-16 | ‘with liberty…’ for 15+ percussionists
Compositionally, I used the pitches and pitch order from The Star Spangled Banner (the National Anthem) by Francis Scott Key and the pitches and pitch order from Lift Every Voice and Sing (the Black National Anthem) by J. Rosamond Johnson, played on metal pipes, in addition to field drums and bass drums to portray both the beginning and growth of the nation. The two field drums and two bass drums who perform the same music but at different tempi; one in a consistent tempo and one speeding up, matching breaking down, and restarting represent the journey America and the journey of African American’s living in America. The pitched metal pipes are muted from letter B to letter F, representing the building of the foundation of the nation. The Star Spangled Banner and Lift Every Voice and Sing are slightly heard but not fully clear rhythmically. The National Anthem begins first again showing the ideals of the country are ahead of rights of some of the inhabitants. Beginning at Letter F The Star Spangled Banner becomes clearer as the metal pipes are suspended and the tones are longer; Lift Every Voice and Sing follows, moving at a rhythmically slower pace. Letter J represents today. The drums stop, the National Anthem stops, and the nation listening to the cry of its people. Here, Lift Every Voice and Sing is performed at the speed in which The Star Spangled Banner. Letter K represents the country coming together and moving forward together and Letter I is the result; both melodies are performed simultaneously providing harmony for one another. Letter L represents my hope of our nation moving forward together as one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all. -Joe W. Moore III

www.joewmooreiii.netAt a Distance by Joe W. Moore IIIJoe W. Moore III2020-07-31 | 'At a Distance' is a percussion ensemble work for 4+ players with flexible instrumentation.
There are 4 written parts and each player chooses 3 percussion instruments to play. The parts can be doubled or tripled as needed for your ensemble. Instrument selection should be graduated in pitch, however, deviation from pitch graduation is certainly welcomed. The exploration of found percussive sounds and electronic instruments that are percussive in nature is encouraged. I hope you enjoy performing 'At a Distance.'

www.joewmooreiii.netCrescent by Joe W. Moore IIIJoe W. Moore III2020-07-31 | 'Crescent' is written for percussion quintet. Each player has a relatively small set up and each part is equally involved throughout the piece. The literary definition of crescent is growth, increase, or development; this served as my inspiration as I composed the piece. This work is similar in style to 'Fourfold' by Dead Resonance (Brett Dietz, Chad Heiny, Jude Traxler, and myself). This is a great piece for an intermediate to advanced percussion ensemble.
Player 1 - piccolo snare drum and field drum
Player 2 - 3 resonant metal pipes/metal objects/almglocken/Thai gongs/ceramic flower pots (performer's choice)
Player 3 - bongos and small kick drum
Player 4 - 2 toms and cymbal stack played with kick pedal.
Player 5 - 4 log drums
