Tambourine Rag

Description

for tambourine and orchestra

Premiered by the Southwest Florida Symphony Orchestra, December 31, 2012. Conducted by the composer.

This unique tambourine feature was created for a New Years’ Eve concert conducted by the composer in Ft. Myers, Florida. As one would expect for such an occasion, it is light-hearted and fun. With the addition of having the rarely seen tambourine at the front of the stage, combined with a “effervescent” rag feel, the novelty number was singled out as the most enjoyable work on the program!
