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)
