Review from Percussive Notes (2022):

Taylor’s Nine

Allen Sapp

Written for the Percussion Group of the University of Cincinnati in 1981, “Taylor’s Nine” is an ever-developing tour-de-force that creates an interesting soundscape for the listener. It begins as a creation from nothing, with shared single notes throughout the ensemble. By the end of the piece, each marimbist is performing quick, typically- odd-note groupings, with precise interjections by the other instruments.

It is worth noting that this piece is handwritten, and it also requires a good deal of stamina. It is a perfect challenge for a university or professional ensemble that is looking to diversify a more “classical” program and add aleatoric flavor to their repertoire.
