BONHAM: Fort Lewis College Percussion Ensemble
7:00pm / Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College
On November 12, the Fort Lewis College Percussion Ensemble will present a concert of compositions written for both pitched and non-pitched percussion instruments. Included on the program will be Christopher Rouse’s Bonham. This classic work is an ode to rock drumming and drummers, most particularly Led Zeppelin's legendary drummer, the late John ("Bonzo") Bonham. The core ostinato of the score, played by the drum set, is reminiscent of Led Zeppelin's When the Levee Breaks, although there are references to other Led Zeppelin songs as well, such as Custard Pie and Royal Orleans.
Also included on the concert will be works by Steve Reich, Nathan Daughtrey, Alan Hovhaness and Bob Becker.
