LEVEL 2 ALL TOGETHER NOW
LEVEL 2 ALL TOGETHER NOW
ALL TOGETHER NOW is a bright and fun work that highlights a groups ability to play accurately and in sync - with rests and interesting melodic lines, this is great piece for performance. Lots of variety in this work with some fast passages for more accomplished players.
AT A GLANCE
KEY: C
TIME: 4/4
RHYTHM: basic with rests, triplets in one bar for Marimba 1 only.
TECHNICAL: This piece was designed to be played on multiple marimbas [4 standard marimbas and one bass] however it will still work with a smaller number of instruments by placing parts on the same marimba at different octaves. If no bass is available, play on a standard marimba at the lower end - if notes are out of range transpose up or down the octave.
PERFORMANCE/TEACHING NOTES
ALL TOGETHER NOW as the name implies is a fantastic composition for players to explore their accuracy in rhythms and effective use of silence. Ensure that all players keep strict time and watch the dynamic markings.
If the fast passages are not easy for all players, consider featuring the advanced players at this point.
