Description

Ripples in Time by Alejandro Gonzalez is a flexible mallet trio with optional percussion parts. Written during the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos, the piece honors the theme of the holiday when our loved ones from the past can visit the living world to offer spiritual connection and guidance.

The piece was conceived to give younger players the chance to make music together in a chamber setting. While it is at minimum a mallet keyboard trio, the optional percussion parts are there for a more comprehensive sound and are playable by two to four players. More mallet keyboard parts and/or a piano may also be added for extra dimension if the players and equipment allow.

Ripples in Time ships as a fully bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for either printing or tablet viewing.

Instrumentation

Minimum instrumentation:

• Glockenspiel or vibraphone

• Marimba (low A)

May expand to include any of the following:

• Xylophone

• Additional marimbas, glockenspiels, and/or vibraphones

• Drumset (kick drum, snare drum, 2 toms, cymbal)

• Drums — bass drum, snare drum, 2 toms

• Cymbals — suspended cymbal

• Accessories — triangle, tambourine
