Paper Cut. (BandQuest Series Grade 3). By Alex Shapiro (1962-). For Concert Band (Score & Parts). BandQuest. Grade 3. Published by American Composers Forum.
Composer Alex Shapiro's piece “Paper Cut” is reminiscent of a movie soundtrack to which the musicians can imagine their own dramatic scene. The piece asks the performers to “play” paper like a percussion instrument – ripping, tearing, tapping and crumpling along with the electronic track even before they pick up their instruments to play along. A very creative and evocative work sure to stir the imagination of players and audience alike. (Grade 3).
