Medium Easy Concert Percussion Ensemble
by Amanda Sycamore
8+ Players
Instrumentation:
Glockenspiel (may be doubled on Vibraphone) Xylophone (may be played on Marimba or Vibraphone 8va) Marimba [4-octave] (may be played on Vibraphone) Timpani (optional) [3 drums] Claves (may substitute Woodblock) Tambourine/Shaker High Tom (may substitute Snare Drum w/ snares off) Bass Drum (may substitute Low Tom)
* Like all pieces in the Ignite Series, the instrumentation is flexible for some or all parts. You may perform with as few as 8 players or with as many as you have in your percussion ensemble by doubling parts.
Beginning with fun hand claps and snaps, Rhythm Cell uses a combination of the Cuban cinquillo and Brazilian influences to make an intriguing work for younger ensembles.
