FORD, Coffee Break

Coffee Break by Mark Ford is a unique piece written for four different sizes of paper coffee cups with lids and sleeves. Music is everywhere and of course coffee has rhythm! After many visits to numerous coffee shops and improvising with cups, Ford decided to write a composition that brings fun, energy and theater to the concert stage. Coffee break is like "Head Talk" on caffeine!

At popular coffee shops the sizes of these cups are called Short (small --- espresso), Tall (medium), Grande (large), and Venti (extra---large). Coffee Break also uses one medium Frappuccino cup with lid and straw. This theatre/percussion work is designed for males to play the first four parts and a female to play the 5th percussion part (or a fifth male in a wig!)
