Description:
Frosty eats Peanuts Although this piece is played 'straight', it should 'swing' well and never lose its groove. This piece can be played with or without bass accompaniment on the marimba. Learning this detailed notation is necessary so that the tonal variety of the snare drum can be unfolded even for lower level players. A drum set was deliberately omitted. The Sleigh Bells can be positioned on a percussion shelf (soft ground) to the right of the snare drum. March through Nutcracker's Land Although the march character is constantly present, the piece should retain its playfulness. The performance should give the feeling of walking through the Nutcracker's Land. This composition can be played as a duo, trio or quartet. In the trio instrumentation, there is a choice of marimba and drum set." Santa Claus comes every year In this composition, the two hard-sounding instruments, xylophone and snare drum, are to prove that they can imitate the lightness of the Christmas sleigh. In order to unfold the tonal variety of the snare drum already for players of lower levels, it is necessary to learn this detailed notation. A drum set was deliberately omitted. The Sleigh Bells can be positioned on a percussion shelf (soft base) to the right of the snare drum. Florian Klinger, born 1991 in Hollabrunn, is an Austrian percussionist and jazz vibraphonist.
