Fat Piece
Bruce J. Taub
About this work:
Fat Piece is in three movements and has been performed many times at various universities around the United States and in Canada. The rhythms and durations are determined by a numercal sequence that is derived from the pitch material. The number seven and the pitches F-sharp and C-natural are also particularly important to the organization of the structure. The title is suggestive of the shape of the instruments, not necessarily the shape of the performers. Fat Piece is published by Music for Percussion.
