About

"As I began the process of post-production on the tracks for this compact disc, I was (naturally) focused on technical matters - the balance and blend of several microphones, the width of the stereo image, the EQ, and so forth. Soon however, I was struck by the way these recordings collectively revealed aspects of the history of the timpani - a history of military might, of cultural intrigue, and of mechanical development - a quest for musical legitimacy, and the impact of technology upon it all. The influence of mehter music, Béla Bartók's use of the pedals, and Jeffrey Peyton's use of computer technology, all inspired my own reflection on the centuries-long journey that music for timpani has taken. It is my hope that each listener finds enjoyment in the uniqueness of these works." - Mark Berry
