Percussion’s Perspective: Karen O’Leary

Karen O’Leary

the kettledrum rumbles

interrupted by crashing cymbals

meter set by the base

pulse claimed by a snare solo

then the xylophone’s melody

grabs center stage

with handbells harmony

for a softer sound

—a pause—

ending with chimes

drifting into a hush

in awe, the crowd rises

for a standing ovation
