"CSEP" is a chamber work for two guitars, percussion, and piano lasting about 5 minutes written in 2017. The word 'csep" means "drip" or "drop" in Hungarian. The piece has a quiet intensity, as it builds to a monstrous climax, then subsides. The writing is intermediate for guitar, and percussion, as advanced intermediate level for the pianist. The music has a tonal center, but moves around quite a bit, and gets intense and atonal in the climax.

At the climactic point, the pianist will have to play controlled clusters, and there is a small slightly improvised point (not much). The percussion only uses a few instruments: large bass drum, large gong, and vibes. In the first section the percussionist will need to use the superball-flumi mallets to rub the gong slowly to create an otherworldly sound. This work does not require a conductor, but it sure can help.

The score and parts are included, and are printed conveniently on 8.5x11 paper so it will be easy to copy, and enlarge as needed.
