Wicca for solo percussion by Casey Cangelosi 2010. Scored for 2 gongs, finger cymbals, triangle, bass drum, tom tom, bongos, and conga. Find the music at www.caseycangelosi.com
this is a sick piece, the way i see it is you sat down and decided to find out how many cool sounds you could make on percussion instruments, then threw it all into one piece aha
@forkfullofpie hey, thanks very much! You are spot-one about the drum head swirls, I'm glad someone picked that up so fast. Hmm...inspiration, I'm not sure how to say it now. I'll have to get back to ya on that :)
This piece is so accessible! It might benefit from a collaboration with a cello or viola? That's just what I'm hearing on the third listen. Maybe a bass? Now that I hear that in my head a bass might be worth taking a pass at it? It's a great piece. One of your best. Keep on amazing us!
@bucoslo I never have a specific story in mind. However, like stories and arts in general, the point is to share a concept or idea. Music and stories are very similar in that they both give the observer an experience; the purpose of the experience is to amplify the concept or idea, making it more meaningful/personal to the observer.
@martinlentini hey, it's just my Samsung camera's mic. It's strange how great that camera's mic picks up drums. Marimba...not so much, but excellent for this
awesome. i especially liked the 'spiraling' motion on the drumheads at the beginning and end; very appropriate symbolically. if you don't mind sharing, what was your inspiration for this piece? namaste, lq
Casey, can you tell me what sticks/mallets you are using? I want to play this for a senior recital, and I particularly like the latex mallet and brush you use.
Definition of a percussionist. Love the dynamics and the anticipation between certain rythm. It's like your telling a story. Love it
Casey all of your compositions are just incredible ❤️
Man.. this is one of the greatest percussion pieces I have ever heard!
Great piece & excellent playing! Looking forward to playing it one of these days. Congrats, Casey!
Love this! Thank you for sharing! Blessed Be!!!!
Mesmerizing
That tom is tuned really well...

maestro de maestros de la multipercuccision
Your compositions are awesome and inspiring! I hope I can write like you one day. I look forward to more of your works.
this is going on the list for my senior recital (;
I like the "marching tenor" set-up of the drums.
iv never seen drums played in so many different ways in one piece
Excellent work! Looking forward to future compositions
Cheers

@RTM11745 hey, thanks very much. They are 6 and 8 inch gongs, but anything small would do fine

Hi Casey, awesome piece! I'm thinking of learning it. What size gongs are you using?
Hey Casey, excellent performance, beautiful. I just wanted to ask you what kind of devices / mics are you using to record ? Thank you very much.
bad ass
is there a moeller stroke or bounce trick to getting a fast one hand roll with the triangle beater?
Awesome. Where'd you study?
Hi, it's about 12 minutes
What type of bass drum is that?
Old marching Slingerland :)
Hey, Casey. I was wondering how you did that little hum noise with one of the drums around 2:52. Also, what kind of drum are you doing it with?
He scratches his nail against the drum head.
