Program Notes

Indicated "Grade 5" with a playing time of 3:30, this lively, vibrant work is an excellent choice for the opening number on a percussion ensemble concert or for any occasion. Eight players are required, using: bells, chimes, suspended cymbal, marimba, vibes, xylophone, gong, 4 roto-toms (or concert toms), snare drum, tenor drum, and 4 timpani. College ensembles and advanced high school ensembles should not find this ensemble difficult to prepare. With attention to a few difficult marimba and xylophone passages, less advanced ensembles should also be able to perform this ensemble. Grade 5 out of 6 grades may be one too high. Rewarding, challenging, and vigorous, a fine new percussion ensemble.
