Romeo and Juliet - Percussion Ensemble Arrangement

This work for large percussion orchestra (18 players) combines iconic themes from Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet and Sergei Prokofiev's ballet of the same name. This is an advanced work that will require mature musicianship and technicality for most players, as well as delicate solo moments for select keyboard players. However, there is a wide variety of demand that can suit less experienced players in certain roles. The timpani part will require an advanced performer.

You will receive the score, all parts, an mp3 of a digital reference file, and a wav file of a live recording.

Instrumentation (18 players): 4 marimbas (1 low A, 2 low F, 1 low C), 4 vibraphones (3 octave), xylophone, glockenspiel, crotales, chimes, 4 timpani, snare drum, bass drum, crash cymbals, 4 concert toms, 2 suspended cymbals, china cymbal, splash cymbal, triangle, tam tam, tambourine, wood block, bell tree, wind chimes.
