As the title suggests, Scott Fairdosi’s Deleclusiastics is a tribute to the famed French percussionist and composer, Jacques Delecluse and his indelible collection of snare drum works, Douze Etudes pour Caisse-Claire. In his piece, Scott quotes thematic material from etude number 1, a piece of standard repertoire for percussion pedagogy, auditions, juries, and recitals. These themes are brilliantly woven into a stream of challenging rudimental gestures but still recognizable to anyone who has played the original. In doing this, Fairdosi has blended both rudimental and concert styles masterfully. As such, this piece can be performed on a concert snare drum or a marching snare drum.
