American Deconstruction
Global Percussion
Organized Rhythm-New!

My program entitled American Deconstruction looks at American works for percussion written after 1969. Global Percussion features new works from four continents. I have chosen these works for their representation of a variety of genres and periods in contemporary American and global music. These pieces are also both musically and technically sophisticated and allow me to display the full range of instrumentation available to today’s multi-percussionist. Common amongst all the pieces is a fusion of the tradition of classical music with the structures, harmonies and rhythms of the music of the regions where many of the instruments originated.

Concerto Repertoire

Joseph Gramley gave his concerto debut with The Houston Symphony, Christoph Eschenbach conducting, at the Wortham Center in Houston. He has performed as soloist with orchestras, symphonic bands, wind ensembles and percussion ensembles, throughout the United States and in Europe. The following is a list of Mr. Gramley’s current repertoire, which includes concerti on multiple percussion instruments, as well as marimba and vibraphone. Many of the Orchestral Concerti have also been arranged for concert and symphonic band or wind ensemble.
