Program Notes The southern black racer is a relatively small species of snake found in Florida and the southern regions of the United States. They can move very quickly (hence the name), but are generally harmless to humans. I learned of this species because I had to free one of these snakes from a sticky insect trap in my garage, and I wanted to confirm the snake was not venomous before handling it. While the concept of this piece has little to do with an actual snake, my encounter with a black racer occured as I was nearing the end of writing and provided a great title!

Performance Notes Each performer has a large tom-tom (13"–16" floor toms work well, or large concert toms) played with drum sticks. There is no need to have all the toms the same size or have them tuned the same, but it would be ideal if they were tuned in a similar range. Each performer also has a cymbal, and these should be graduated in size if at all possible—from low (player 1) to high (player 4). Stickings Several sticking indications are notated in the score in order to 1) provide students guidance in choosing a practical sticking, and 2) help make the piece visually more appealing to the audience by having unison parts played using the same stickings. Any time a rhythmic pattern recurs, assume that the sticking should be the same as earlier notated. At letter E, players 1 and 4 begin an antiphonal glockenspiel texture. This should be atmospheric, using the timbral and rhythmic properties of the instrument more than the melodic, essentially treating it as a multipercussion instrument. Both glockenspiel parts are identical (until measure 110) but offset by a quarter note. One might play this section entirely with alternating sticking (though large leaps might be difficult), or more likely using a combination of single and double stickings. Here are just two examples of sticking patterns players 1 and 4 might use at letter E:

Players & Instrumentation Black Racer requires 4 players with the following instrumentation:
*The performer must use caution when playing bongos with drum sticks, as it is possible to damage or break a head. Using synthetic heads (as opposed to animal skin) and using drum sticks with a smooth, round bead will decrease your chances of damaging one or both heads.
