These pieces were conceived as musical impressions drawn from events and activities of typical life in the city. Although each piece of the set: Sunrise, Traffic, Rain, Sidewalks & Nightlife has a character of its own, they all share a common melodic structure. A challenging work-out for three percussionists, Urban Sketches is scored for Xylophone, Vibraphone and Marimba (4 1/3 octave). adv. high school/college.
Scored for Xylophone, Marimba (4 1/3 octave) and Vibraphone, Amalgamation challenges all three players to utilize great rhythmic and dynamic nuance throughout! While only the marimba part requires four mallets, the challenge here among all players, is to keep the interlocking melodic lines and rhythmic patterns in a sustained "groove" throughout duration of the piece. adv. high school/college.
