Percussion Ensembles; Kevin Garry, Director

SCHOOL OF MUSIC PERCUSSION ENSEMBLES Kevin Garry, Director April 17, 2005 2:00 P.M. Elizabeth Hall Alan Keoivn Destinations Richard Sanford (b. 1959) Thais The Thais (pronounced "thay-us") are a family of seashells (Thaididae) which include the well-known "Rock" shells. They are rather small and not at all rare, but have simple shapes and curves interesting to many collectors. The composer based the simple, strophic form of Thais on a subtractive sculptural model like these shells, resulting in a sort of "swiss cheese" counterpoint. Richard K.
