Original

4BY4 composed by John Psathas. For percussion quartet. This edition. softcover. Saddle-stitch. Study score. 36 pages. Published by Promethean Editions. PO.PE178S. ISBN 979-0-67452-209-0. 30.5 x 22 cm inches. John Psathas' 4BY4. 2012. is a high-energy and challenging multi-percussion work that takes ensemble-playing to the edge of technical possibility. It is also a highly entertaining work with its inclusion of genre-defying grooves and polyrhythmic complexity. Each player is assigned a unique combination of instruments, including tom-toms, cymbals, congas, snare drums, hi-hats and tambourine. All players use kick-drums, which unify the quartet and underpin the work's momentum. "If Dave Weckl, Christopher Lamb, Steven Schick and Giovanni Hidalgo â“ all percussion virtuosi from widely different genres â“ were to have a jam session, I can't help but think that it would sound something like 4BY4," Dr. Omar Carmenates. Furman University, SC, USA.
