Duddell, Joe: Snowblind

for solo percussion and strings

One of three works Duddell has written for percussionist Colin Currie, "Snowblind" highlights the melodic possibilities when writing for percussion. Throughout its three movements, Duddell takes the performers through a modern day Baroque sound-world with both the use of ritornello sections and focussing on unity between the accompaniment and soloist. "Snowblind" will stretch post Grade-8 students and is ideal for an exam or audition situation.
