"Short Ride In A Fast Machine" is a joyfully exuberant piece, originally scored for a large orchestra. The steady marking of a beat is typical of Adams's music. This piece begins with a marking of quarter notes (woodblock, soon joined by the four trumpets) and eighths (clarinets and synthesizers). The woodblock is fortissimo and the other instruments play forte. We are proud to bring you Lawrence Odom's transcription of this classic work.

Technical Notes: The required percussion equipment for this piece includes high/medium/low wood blocks, pedal bass drum, snare drum, large bass drum, suspended cymbal, sizzle cymbal, large tam tam, tambourine, triangle, glockenspiel, and xylophone & crotales.

Arranged By: This piece was arranged by Lawrence Odom.

Composed By: "Short Ride In A Fast Machine" was composed by John Adams.

Published By: "Short Ride In A Fast Machine" was published by Boosey & Hawkes.

Series: This piece is part of the series "Boosey & Hawkes Great Band Transcriptions Series".
