Abstract

!MPACT is an eighteen-minute percussion concerto for solo percussion, saxophone quartet, brass quartet, and string quartet. The original composition, written by Ben Johansen, was commissioned by Todd Meehan, Director of Percussion Studies at the Baylor University School of Music. The work is a collage, and at times a barrage, of inspired ideas that demand constant attention from the listener. In order to make the piece approachable and understandable, it has been structured and organized by the arch form (ABCBA). The premiere of !MPACT was performed by Baylor University musicians and conducted by Colin McKenzie, Assistant Director of Bands at Baylor University.
