Abstract
For this thesis, I have composed a concerto for percussion ensemble and chamber orchestra. The instrumentation of the chamber orchestra is flute, clarinet, soprano saxophone, trombone, tuba, Casiotone organ, two violins, viola, and bass. The concertino group is three players, each playing an array of percussion instruments, including chimes, vibraphones, xylophone, several tom-toms, unconventional “found sound” objects such as metal bowls, and many auxiliary hand percussion instruments such as tambourine. I have also arranged the concerto as a suite for chamber orchestra, which does not feature a group of soloists but integrates the percussion part into the orchestra. The suite was recorded on November 17, 2019 at the University of Oregon School of Music and Dance, and may be accessed through the following link: https://soundcloud.com/luke-smith-274188951/sets/bellvines-suite.
