When working with a new percussion ensemble program, it is always a gift to find pieces with flexible instrumentation. Entering into this niche market is “Hit It!,” a simple and short work with open instrumentation for a flexible number of percussionists that only requires understanding of simple duple rhythms. It would function wonderfully in a young ensemble’s first concert. The parts are separated into three groups, denoted A, B, and C. The only instrumentation that is fixed is the bass drum and crash cymbals played by the two members of group C. This is also the easiest part, only employing quarter notes and various rest qualities. Groups A and B make up the meat of the music, calling-and-responding rhythmic gestures or playing simple groove passages in unison. The rhythmic gestures include combinations of eighth and sixteenth notes, the most complicated example including dotted-eighth notes. The groove sections also include striking rims and clicking sticks together to add timbral variety. The piece also includes a solo section where select players can improvise for two measures at a time, offering students an opportunity to explore their own capabilities outside of dictated music. There are a variety of ways in which “Hit It!” can be performed. The composer suggests that there be a minimum of six players, two per “group.” However, it is also possible to program this work with four players, with one person reading each of A and B groups. It is also possible for the instructor and a more advanced student to play the Group C parts, as a way to spotlight the younger players performing the main musical material. It can also be performed as it was premiered in Sydney, Australia: with an ensemble of 28 (or more) percussionists. The possibilities are endless with this incredibly flexible composition.
