==General Info==
Arranger: [[John R. Hearnes]] 
Publisher: [[Row-Loff Productions]] 
Series: [[Icesicles!]] 
Duration: 00:03:02 

==Instrumentation==
Player 1: [[Glockenspiel]] & [[Triangle]] 
Player 2: [[Vibraphone]] 
Player 3: [[Xylophone]] & [[Chimes]] & [[Tambourine]] 
Player 4: [[Marimba]] 
Player 5: [[Marimba]] 
Player 6: [[Timpani]] & [[Suspended Cymbal]] 

==Performance Notes==
This arrangement is a mallet and [[timpani]] ensemble written in a “theme and variations” form. After a brief introduction, the theme is played in the [[marimba]] 1 part and doubled in the [[xylophone]]. The first variation is at Letter B, with the [[xylophone]] playing the melody that has been filled in with extra pitches and rhythms. Letter C has the second variation in which the melody is moved to the [[vibraphone]] with the rhythmic values doubled and the key modulated to the relative minor. After a short transition at Letter E, the last variation comes at Letter F in a new key and again in half time, this time with the melody played in the [[vibraphone]] and [[Glockenspiel]]. There are also a few accompaniment parts throughout the piece that explore the inversions of the main melodic material. Balance and blend are important for all instruments. Mallet selection for all players will help with this. Players should pay close
attention to who has the melody so the others can work on supporting that line, including those players that double on non-tonal percussion instruments. The [[timpani]] player should provide the bass line without overpowering the mallets. More advanced ensembles can begin to work on the unwritten dynamics of the piece by shaping the melodic lines in a musical fashion.
The non-tonal percussion parts should also be kept in balance with the tonal instruments. The [[triangle]] (mounted optional) should be played with a thin beater hitting on the bottom side as straight on as possible (this produces a sound with more overtones and less of a specific pitch). The tambourine part is marked “secco” which means dry. Hold the [[tambourine]] level, place the wrist on the head, and play with the fingertips at the edge over the jingles.
