Rancho Jubilee for Cajon Trio by Andrew Beall Musical Performers: Cajon 1 – Caleb Martinez Cajon 2 – Ron Schermerhorn Cajon 3 – Rey Gonzalez From composer Andrew Beall - "Rancho Jubilee is the name of a Dominican restaurant on my corner in Washington Heights. It's fun décor and lively atmosphere mixed with Latin and Caribbean influences provided a nice setting for this--what is most likely the first of its kind--trio for Cajons. Cajon is a Spanish word, meaning Box. The instrument originated in Peru and later became popular in Spanish Flamenco music. Because of the wire strings extending across the Cajon, it has a fantastic sound, much like a drum set, with "snare" and "bass". In the piece itself, I've taken several key rhythmic motives and spread them over a variety of contexts as well as used basic rudiments (such as the paradiddle, double-paradiddle, and paradiddle-diddle) and juxtaposed them into syncopated rhythms throughout. Besides standard techniques, the different timbre ideas include knocking on the Cajon's side with knuckles, knocking on the side with the heel of the foot, brushing the surface of the Cajon with fingers and nails, brushing the performer's leg, and a fist pound directly in the center of the Cajon. My last day writing was spent at Rancho Jubilee, and I am pleased to pay tribute to this restaurant, which continues to be a consistent sanctuary for composing and orchestrating.” 00:00 Intro - TMEA 22 - San Antonio, TX 00:18 Studio Session 1 - Letter A 00:37 Studio Session 2 - Letter B-C 00:55 Duck Park Jam - Letter D 01:05 Water Shot - Letter E-F 01:37 Studio Session 3 - Letter G 01:48 UTRGV PAC - Letter H 01:58 Studio Session 4 - "The Heat"! 02:11 UTRGV PAC - Letter I-J-K 02:44 UTRGV PAC - Letter L 03:06 Duck Park - Letter M 03:21 Duck Park - Letter N-O 04:07 STC Concert - Letter P-C2 07:10 UTRGV PAC - End Splits 07:32 South Texas College - Outro Instruments used in this Video: LP14431 – MONA TAVAKOLI SIGNATURE MT BOX CAJON https://www.lpmusic.com/products/cajons/lp/mona-tavakoli-signature-mt-box-cajon LP1438 – Americana Series Wire Cajon https://www.lpmusic.com/products/cajons/lp M1405MN – Latin Percussion Matador Stave Quinto Cajon https://www.lpmusic.com/products/cajons/matador LP Soul Cajon By Mario Cortes https://www.lpmusic.com/products/cajons/lp Enjoy more of Ron's Music Here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBhmR0VqIPKv6S1VIZlxX1BoH91U4CuM0&si=7KExABMLEhOUtUgl Video Equipment: iPhone 14 Pro Max & Shure MV 88+ Video: Edited in Final Cut Pro 10.6.8.

Clapping Music: Steve Reich - A Minimalist Music Composition The acclaimed American composer Steve Reich is widely celebrated for his minimalist music compositions and their influence on modern music. His iconic piece, Clapping Music, is a minimalist masterpiece composed in 1972. Player 1 claps a basic rhythm, a variation of the fundamental African bell pattern in 12/8 time. Player 2 claps the same pattern, but after every 8 or 12 bars, shifts by one eighth note to the right, and then skipping one note or rest in the pattern. The two performers continue this until the second performer has shifted 12 eighth notes and is hence playing the pattern in unison with the first performer again (as at the beginning), some 144 bars later. The variation of the African bell pattern is minimal; it contains just one additional beat. Steve Reich's Clapping Music is a revolutionary work that has inspired generations of composers and performers. It showcases the genius of Reich and his pioneering approach to music composition. Thanks to its minimalistic structure and distinct style, Clapping Music is a timeless piece that continues to captivate audiences around the world. Thank you for watching the video.

Jovial Jasper - George Hamilton Green (Arranged by Bob Becker) If you love ragtime music, then you need to check out this video. We'll be playing the classic Jovial Jasper by George Hamilton Green, and you're sure to have a fun time! This ragtime song is a classic and is sure to bring back some memories. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show! Jovial Jasper was published by George Hamilton Green in 1926 as a xylophone solo with piano accompaniment, Green Subtitled Jovial Jasper "A Slow Drag". The slow drag was a notorious couple dance usually done to music with a blues character and moderate tempo. Considered one of history's greatest xylophone players, George Hamilton Green started playing at age 11 and at 13 was performing solos with his father's band. At 19 he entered vaudeville and in one year was proclaimed "the fastest, most artistic, and most wonderful xylophonist and soloist in this country or abroad." He was one of the most popular artists in recorded history, acting as soloist, composer, arranger, and as part of various groups including All Star Trio, Green Brothers' Xylophone Orchestra, and Green Brothers Novelty Band. Green was a fine teacher and author of pedagogical materials, his course of 50 lessons retaining importance today. His solo xylophone compositions such as "The Ragtime Robin," "Charleston Capers" and "Caprice Valsant" still retain an enormous popularity. Upon his retirement from music in 1946, Green pursued a successful career as an artist, illustrator and cartoonist.
