One of MacMillan's earliest successes was his first percussion concerto; Veni; Veni; Emmanuel (1992); firmly established with hundreds of performances to date. Percussion Concerto no 2 was therefore received with great excitement at its premiere in 2014 by Colin Currie and the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic. Like its predecessor; the second concerto is formed in a single; c25-minute span; albeit with contrasting sections; but with full orchestra scoring. The significant array of solo percussion is complemented by two orchestral percussion sections; notably the soloist makes use of a recently invented instrument; the aluphone. Suitable for advanced standard performers.
