Percussion that isn't just spice
Percussion,
the hitting of
an instrument
with a stick or
hand, is often
seen as simply
an accompani
ment to a band or orchestra.
Indeed that’s a valid premise.
“Percussion can be used like
spices are used in a stew; to
make it taste good,” says
Charles Dowd, conductor and
musical director of the Univer
sity’s Oregon Percussion
Ensemble.
But Dowd’s 18-member
Oregon Ensemble itself
becomes the” stew” by playing
compositions distinctly written
for a group of percussionists, or
a percussion ensemble. The
music is in a variety of forms
including classical, jazz, ethnic
and” modern” music.
The ensemble, which is
beginning its 13th year, is made
up entirely of University
students. It appears throughout
the Northwest in recitals,
workshops and percussion and
music education festivals. The
group has also won awards at
percussive arts ensemble
competitions.
Dowd says the ensemble
specializes in the performance
of new and unusual 20th cen
tury compositions. This is a
reflection of a change that 20th
century percussion chamber
writing is undergoing, he says.
“Our instruments are going
through a renaissance like the
violin was 200 years ago,” he
says.
This renaissance is seen in
sound experimentation and in
the ever-expanding use of ex
otic instruments, Dowd says. In
an upcoming Oregon Percus
sion Ensemble concert, in
struments will include rice
bowls, lengths of pipe and
Chevrolet brake drums, as well
as the more conventional
marimbas, cymbals and drums.
This Wednesday’s free con
cert is a re-enactment of a
famous 1940 concert by five
avant-garde percussion com
posers at Mills College in
Oakland, Calif.
“At the time it was a really
controversial and innovative
Inn concert is a good blend of
avant-garde percussive music
and more traditional rhythms.
"People are not as aware of
the Percussion Ensemble as
they could be but when they
come they are pleasantly sur
prised," he says.
Performances are pleasant for
the percussionists as well
because they get to take center
stage, playing music written for
percussionists and taking a
secondary role to none.
"It’s our time to shine," says

The Oregon Percussion Ensemble will re-enact a famous 1040
concert, complete with rice bowls and Chevrolet brake drums
Wednesday at the University's music school.
historical event that exposed
the percussive instruments to
the more legitimate 20th cen
tury compositional genre,” says
Dowd.
This section of the concert
features five pieces, including
an imagined Aztec composi
tion. and the use of more than
80 instruments.
Tim Cogswell, a five-year
member of the ensemble, says
Cogswell.
The concert will be narrated
by music school professor
emeritus Robert Trotter and will
feature a new composition writ
ten and performed by Thom
Bergeron. It will be held in
Room 198 at the University's
music school Wednesday at 8
p.m.
