AT A GLANCE
KEY: C major
TIME: 4/4
RHYTHM: simple
TECHNICAL: This piece was designed to be played on multiple marimbas [3 standard marimbas and 2 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
FESTIVAL has a simple start that can be played with a slight rubato after which the tempo should remain clear and steady throughout. As the piece develops, Marimba 1 has a more challenging part than others so ensure players have good control of mallets.
FESTIVAL can be played on a smaller number of marimbas ] or if there are a large number of marimbas and players, experiment with the placement of various parts at different octaves to create different textures.
