Groove piece using throughout 4 mallets, and some instruments

The
Castle of the Mad King : Listen
Watch Video Clip
The challenging millennium piece! Composed for Nebojsa himself
and Evelyn Glennie. Unique set-up
with lot of stuff but
worth "building" this percussive "castle"
... Almost the same setup has been used in Zivkovic's
percussion Concerto no.1 ("Concerto of the mad Queen")
this is a Symphony for solo percussion! dur. ca. 17 minutes

The
Concerto of the Mad Queen (Percussion
concerto no.1) Watch
Video Clip
Listen:
Beginning
(4 minutes) Slow middle section (ca 3
minutes) Finale
(ca 2 minutes)
This set-up is based on the Castle set-up. Just
few minor changes have been made. Vibraphone has been
added for a beautiful "valse" of the Mad
queen in the slow middle section, and crotales
have been taken away. Idea is, when "building"
Castle for the Solo piece, also to be able to perform
another CONCERTO with the SAME set-up. ...

Quasi
una sonata : Listen
Composed in 2000/2001 for Evelyn Glenie and Emanuel Ax.
They did a world premiere in Londons Wigmore hall in March
2001. Small but interesting set-up using "Flats"
(tom-toms)an octave of Almglocken , Vibraphone, and some
other small percussion. Three movements, dur. ca. 14 minutes. |

Die
Arten Des Wassers : Listen
(mov.1, mov.2,
mov.3)
For two pianos and two percussionists. Here are the pictures
of both set-ups for percussionists. You need a lot of
instruments but at least there are no timpani :) In concerts,
this piece can be combined very well with with Bartok
or Crumb....

Tales
from the Center of the Earth
Listen: Movement
1 Movement
2
For Marimba/percussion and wind ensemble.
The latest concerto by Zivkovic, and already the most
performed piece. Tonal music in the "Egyptian-Like"
first movement on the marimba , and powerful and
mystic percussion runs in the second
movement.
