This is a crowd-pleasing arrangement of the well-known gypsy violin piece by Vittorio Monti, it's based on the traditional Hungarian folk dance, Csardas. Featuring a xylophone soloist (which can also be performed on marimba), it opens with a rhapsodic statement in D-minor which leads into a fiery Vivace showcasing the soloist's two-mallet technique.

Catchy, fun, and attainable by most medium-level ensembles, this exciting arrangement by Stephen Primatic will have toes tapping and mallets whirling throughout concert halls.

This piece comes as a professionally printed and bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or for tablet viewing.

*Marimba parts 1 and 3 can be played on one low C instrument.
