Music Appreciation 5 David Stock's Blast
The piece we're hearing this week is a modern one: "Blast" by David Stock (1939-2015).
The lecture in this lesson is unusual in that we hear directly from the composer himself. The piece is only 3 1/2 minutes long, uses lots of percussion, and is a lot of fun.
Remember, you can listen to the piece in its entirety by clicking on the link to "Watch the full performance here."
I wrote a 10-question quiz on this piece and lecture, which you can find here.
