Organized

“Organized” is a concert piece for percussion trio and organ, commissioned by the "International Percussion Competition Luxembourg 2022", challenging competing percussion trios in their ensemble playing with organ.
The work is based on a recurring "3+1" motif, organized in various ways from prolongations, reductions and displacements to fragmentations and is characterized by tonal ambiguity and groovy, accented patterns. Leadership roles are continuously exchanged between the organist and the three percussionists to form a balanced chamber music group.
The piece uses a vast array of percussion instruments, sometimes asking percussionists to play a combination of different instruments at the same time. Emphasis needs to be put on balancing dynamics and sound colours in this unusual combination of instruments.
