The recital and the graduation concert respectively perform classic contemporary percussion repertoires, including keyboard duets adapted from Piezola's works by Hong Kong composer Zhang Junliang. The difference in timbre and sound quality of the marimba arrangement is the more challenging part of this piece. French composer Jesus. Torres' "Proteus" is a solo piece that combines body vocals and integrated drums. The technique is extremely difficult. It tests basic skills and the integration of body vocals in percussion works. You must present your body as an instrument to blend with it. Transform into one. "Sex in the Kitchen" comes from the pursuit of desire, using everyday objects as musical instruments, showing off skills and a high level of tacit understanding. It is a comprehensive duet that requires extreme running-in and communication, as well as "The Spruce" adapted from Sibelius' piano piece, Piano skills are played on the marimba, with more limitations and difficulties, but also more possibilities and breakthroughs.
In addition,I also played jazz standard songs of different periods and styles, including George. Gaishiwen's classic musical selections are adapted for Ballad folk style, hard and roaring classics in the 1950s, etc. Each song has a different style, both technical and musical.
In addition to emphasizing the concept of the evolution and alternation of contemporary percussion works, the complex configuration and technique of the solo to the minimalist ensemble is also a process of reflection. The repertoire spanned from 1942 to 2019, beginning with pure instrumental solos to ensemble preparations, adding gramophone samples, collage images, etc. Since 1942, John Cage began to develop preset pianos and tried to use more variety in percussion music. material, until the evolution and retrospect of contemporary percussion works in 2019. Drum solo "Monkey Chant" used Gamelan's Pelog scale as the main motive, and the use of ethnic instruments was one of the composer's most important concepts, such as the Kalimba and Ancient cymbals (Crotale), and a large number of different materials such as springs and bamboo sticks are used to process the snare drum skin to imitate the sound of Cuica.

In the adapted version, the sound of the piano has been added, and the free improvisation on the basic chords of the original piece has given this classic piece a new listening experience. Another possibility for sound.
In 1942, the avant-garde composer John Cage's classic percussion quartet "Credo in us" added the operation of gramophone sampling, as well as the use of tin cans, clockwork bells and other media to collage and structure the piano and percussion parts. , so that the complex and diversified post-modernist music colors are shown in the music.
Finally, Time & Money, a percussion piece that integrates electronic music and video, summarizes the core concept of the whole solo. The looping passages, repeated rhythms, gestures and changes in timbre seem to be constantly squeezed by the players through time, space and time. Bound, and then to break the system of accusing, with the process of the music being pulled away, the words on the stage are stripped away little by little, and the sound returns to dead silence in the elapsed time.
