Six is a mallet sextet commissioned and premiered by the Eastman School of Music Percussion Ensemble in October, 2012. It is scored for two five octave marimbas, two vibraphones, and two glockenspiel. The piece reflects the six years I spent at Eastman as a student, and all the special memories I created there. Musically, Six is inspired by Sigur Ros, an Icelandic rock band known for writing beautiful, simple songs.

Brian Nozny's piece Coin is a piece about opposites. The ensemble is tasked with the harmonic development of the piece with little in the way of rhythmic drive. On the opposite side, the soloist is tasked with providing most of the rhythmic drive of the piece, while having no impact on the harmonic implications of the work. While both of these parts are separate from one another in function, their existences within the same work compliment each other and solidify their attachment to one another, much like the two sides of a coin.

Brian Nozny says of his piece Sharps: "The idea behind Sharps is a very simple one…Can I musically tattoo an audience? Can I write a piece that is so accessible and unwavering, so blatant and incessant in its point that the theme basically brands itself into the minds of the audience? That is the idea behind Sharps.
 
Sharps was written at a rather brisk pace between December of 2009 and February 2010 for my friends in the Denkyem Percussion Group. It was commissioned by them through the efforts of Megan Arns in the beginning of November 2009 for their performance at the Promising Artists of the 21st Century festival hosted by the North American Cultural Center, Costa Rica in March of 2010. The U.S. Premier occured a few weeks later at Florida State University where the group resides."
