Percussion Sonata No. 3

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Woodstock, New York's Maverick concert series, Garry Kvistad, his wife Diane, and the Woodstock Chimes Fund commissioned this work in three movements from Peter Schickele. In the words of the composer, the first movement is a lively Toccata, the second a quiet, ambling Romanza, and the finale, titled Vaudeville, contains a bunch of theater music, some of it reminiscent of the xylophone pieces played in vaudeville acts.
