Composed by Thomas Oboe Lee. Baroque Period,Classical Period,Romantic Period,20th Century,21st Century. Score. With Il Saltimbanco. 5 pages. Published by Thomas Oboe Lee (S0.12722).Program note.Eight Tarot Cards for Madam Rubio! was originally a 22-movement work for two pianos entitled, "The Visconti-Sforza Tarot Cards." I sent a copy of the two-piano version to Nancy Zeltsman who, with Janis Potter, recently created the marimba duo, Madam Rubio. They thought some of the pieces could translate very well as pieces for marimba duo. I have to give complete credit to Nancy's ingenuity and creativity for this version. The transcription, arrangement and order of Eight Tarot Cards for Madam Rubio! are completely hers. [The numbering of the movements may look bizarre, but it is the original Tarot numbering.]I Il Saltimbanco The Mountebank shuffles his cards and does a samba.XVI La Torre The Tower topples and crashes onto the populace gathered below.II La Papessa The High Priestess concocts a magic potion.XXI Il Mondo The World would be a happier place if we all dance together.XIII La Morte Death lurks around the corner.X La Ruota della Fortuna Fortunes rise and fall unpredictably.III L'Imperatrice The Empress dances all night.XIX Il Sole Sunshine, margaritas and salsa cubana.And if an encore is requested ...XVII La Stella Twinkle, twinkle, little star ...[Marimba I requires a 4.5 octave (low E) instrument and Marimba II requires a 5-octave (low C) instrument.].
