Description |
Fanfare for Hammerchord (2012) is dedicated to David Elliott, general manager of WHRB Radio in Cambridge, Massachusetts. (The work is for a musical instrument invented in 2002 by Robert Cunningham of Atlanta, Georgia. The hammerchord is a keyboard-based stringed instrument employing a unique hammered striking mechanism to produce a tremolo sound reminiscent of the hammered dulcimer or the balalaika.) |
