The Devil's Dance is a short animated movement from Stravinsky's famous theatrical work Histoire du Soldat. Originally written by Stravinsky for a small instrumental theater ensemble of
two woodwinds, two brass, two strings, and one solo percussionist, Ancona
has preserved the original intent of this piece in a concert percussion setting
of eight players.
Meter
changes occur frequently while constantly shifting accents and dissonant
harmonies give it a sinister and sarcastic tone.
This
piece is published as a saddle-stitch bound score, with a color glossy cover!
Individual parts are included.
Instrumentation: Glockenspiel,
Xylophone, 2 Vibraphones, 2 Marimbas (low A), 5 Timpani, and Multi-percussion
(bass drum, snare drum, field drum, tambourine)
