Summary of this score
Métissages was born from the artistic collaboration between Paul Mindy and Eric Sammut, two musicians also deeply involved in pedagogy. The goal of the collection is clear: to create common ground between traditional percussion classes and the world of classical percussion by offering accessible, musical, and educational pieces.
Each piece features a complementary interplay of roles: the keyboards (marimba, bass marimba, vibraphone) carry the melody, harmony, and color, while the traditional percussion instruments structure the rhythmic energy, pulse, and stylistic vocabulary. The required work focuses as much on technique (independence, articulation, mastery of strokes and timbres) as on interpretation (phrasing, dynamics, balance, intention).
The collection notably details the playing and ensemble challenges in pieces such as Sometimes I Feel Like a Mother Child (ternary flow, deep chords on vibraphone, coordination on kenkeni/sangbang/doumdoum), Hymne à la joie (D major, brightness, 3 against 4 polyrhythm with the bell), Touran (asymmetric measures and dance spirit, pandeiro in 7/8), Saudade pour Nina et Tali (triangle and caxi xi serving the rhythm, baiao from Nordeste), and Les Feuilles mortes (listening to syncopations, conga techniques, and cues on Cuban rhythms). A particularly relevant resource for percussion workshops, student ensembles, and class projects.
