Classical percussion is a concert-music genre that places mallet and battery instruments—marimba, vibraphone, xylophone, timpani, snare, and a wide array of auxiliary percussion—at the center of virtuosic, not merely “accompanying,” performance. Repertoire ranges from solo showpieces and lyrical marimba works to intricate chamber writing for multiple players, often exploring color, resonance, and rhythmic precision with the same depth as classical piano or strings. It blends tight ensemble interplay, demanding independence of hands and feet, and a fascination with timbre: warm rolling chords, bright articulated lines, and theatrical changes of setup. Contemporary works frequently draw on jazz, Latin, and minimalist influences while remaining rooted in classical technique and form. Listen to the latest Classical Percussion music!
