about

Commissioned by Jonathan Hass and his NYU Percussion Ensemble, Composer/ Percussionist Thomas Kozumplik’s Child of the Earth is a large-scale work for percussion orchestra in four parts. Dedicated to the late Chad Plasters, the piece was premiered and recorded at Frederick Loewe Theatre in NYC on May 1, 2017.

Within the framework of a (neo)romantic symphony, the performers are asked to play multiple instruments and sing. The 16-member chamber orchestra mixes marimbas, vibraphones, bells, chimes, piano, xylophone, Thai gongs, timpani, drum kit, more drums, cymbals, gongs, voices, and small percussion.
