{"product_id":"varner-convective-motives-percussion-ensemble","title":"Varner-Convective Motives (SP)-B\/V\/4M\/P","description":"Convective Motives by Michael Varner is a percussion sextet written predominantly in 6\/4 phrases in alternating bars of 5\/8 and 7\/8. The 6\/4 motivic development blends and creates a rhythmic tension against the 2-3-2-2-3 beaming. A rhythmic motif of sixteenth notes on the \"two\" groupings drive the piece toward mysterious or aggressive versions of the motif. Intertwined are micro and macro rhythmic development so that often 5\/8-7\/8 will be overlaid with 5\/16-7\/16 or 5\/4-7\/4 developments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of players: 6 \u003cbr\u003eDifficulty: Intermediate\/advanced\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 1: Marimba, 2 medium toms\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 2: Marimba, bongos, suspended cymbal\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 3: Marimba, 2 low congas\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 4: Bass marimba, 2 low toms\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 5: Vibraphone, 2 medium congas\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 6: Glockenspiel, 2 gongs, China cymbal, medium crash cymbals, ribbon crasher, 2 medium congas, hi-hat, two woodblocks, multi drum, bass drum","brand":"C.
