Banjo Marimba Quartet
SKU: HRPE098
Description
- Composer: Steve Mathiesen
- Publisher: HoneyRock
Scored for three marimbas (one with low F) and xylophone, this is a lively setting of an interesting piece of Americana. While the individual parts are not too difficult (each requires two mallets), the interlocking nature of the overall texture requires concentrated attention to detail.A great piece for developing " ensemble listening" skills! The Banjo wa s one of many piano works written by Gottschalk for his own performances and dates from his first American tour (1853-56) after his return from Europe. In the rhythmic material of the piece, one can easily hear the sounds of the strumming of the banjo enjoyed by Gottschalk in his early years, as well as a passing reference to Stephen Foster's Camptown Races.high school/college.
