Third Coast Percussion has been bringing performances of Third Construction (1941) to audiences around the country for 5 years. This master piece of Cage’s early output is scored for everything from drums and tin cans to split pieces of bamboo, a conch shell and the “lion’s roar,” a modified drum that uses friction to produce a low groaning sound. Live Recording: Gottlieb Hall, Chicago IL. September 18, 2010 To view the full performance of Third Construction visit www.youtube.com/thirdcoastpercussion. |

Second Construction was composed in 1940. In addition to drums, shakers, and gongs - including one that is lowered into a bucket of water to lower its pitch - the score calls for a prepared piano, which involves placing cardboard and a screw between the piano strings.
