Portland Percussion Group Releasing Patterns and Form on New Focus Records - February 20!

Portland Percussion Group’s newest release features three works that the ensemble brought into being: Alejandro Viñao’s title work, Mendel Lee’s The Spaces Between, and Daniel Webbon’s Whatever was lost never thenceforth mattered. The collection demonstrates the ensembles’ versatility, from metrically intricate, virtuosic interlocking lines, to spacious, delicate textures, to cathartic, vigorous drumming. But it also highlights the wonderful diversity in percussion ensemble repertoire being written today. What was once a landscape of a few high profile pioneering groups has blossomed into one of the most prolific sub-communities in concert music, stretching and challenging the creative frames of composers, performers, and listeners alike. The Portland Percussion Group reinforces their role in this fertile scene with this release, performed with verve and interpretive understanding.
