Palio di Siena by Clif Walker is an advanced percussion ensemble work inspired by the famous horse race held twice each year in Siena, Italy. In a nonstop 90-second sprint, performers are pushed to their physical and musical limits through relentless tempo, articulation, and endurance challenges. Scored for nine players, the instrumentation features a colorful mix of mallet keyboards, timpani, and battery percussion that captures the race’s tension and exhilaration. With its technical demands and driving pace, Palio di Siena makes a dynamic concert opener or showcase for experienced ensembles.
