First made famous by Dame Evelyn Glennie and later established as a standard in the repertoire, Matre’s Dance (1991/94) is now available for percussion ensembles with this new arrangement by Dr. Omar Carmenates, Assistant Prof. of Percussion, Furman University, USA. It features one solo percussionist with four mallet players on 4 marimbas, 2 vibraphones and a xylophone. Matre’s Dance is highly energetic and maintains relentless rhythmic tension courtesy of unpredictable accents and syncopation.
