Béla Bartók, arr. James Ancona
for Percussion Ensemble
|
|
|
This percussion ensemble arrangement of The Miraculous Mandarin is based upon three movements of Bartok's original work.
The
Beginning - A challenging display of technique, timbral variety,
and creative orchestration.
The Second Seduction - Featuring the vibraphones,
this movement creates a rubato, tense beauty.
The Chase - A relentless conclusion which drives
to the ultimate point of release.
This
arrangement will challenge performers, and offers a programatic piece which
will showcase the versatility of the percussion ensemble's timbral range.
It was first performed by the Santa Clara Vanguard Percussion Ensemble in
2000.
The
Miraculous Mandarin comes with a full, bound score and includes all
individual parts.
