Schroeder's Tantrum from Schroeder's Tantrum by Earl MacDonald

Schroeder's Tantrum was named after Schroeder, the musical child prodigy in the Peanuts comic strip. By playing in parallel fifths in the upper register of the keyboard, I've attempted to mimic the tinkle of a toy piano. I especially like how Mike and Ted (bass and drums) brought this piece to life.

Described as “a magical, musical alchemist of hip hybrids,” Earl MacDonald continues the long, impactful tradition of political and social activism within the jazz arena. The pianist/composer serves as Director of Jazz Studies at the University of Connecticut. Visit earlmacdonald.com for more info.
