From The Snow Maiden. Composed by Nikolay Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov. Arranged by Lewis Norfleet. Percussion Ensembles. Folio & Parts on CD-ROM. Duration 3'00. Tapspace Publications #TSPCE-45. Published by Tapspace Publications (TA.TSPCE-45).In 1880 Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908), known for his symphonic works Scheherazade, Capriccio Espagnol, and the Russian Easter Festival Overture, became enthusiastic about a fantastic story told by Russian playwright Ostrovsky entitled The Snow Maiden. Soon thereafter, Nikolai composed his most famous opera by the same name.
Playful, lively, and fast-paced, Lewis Norfleet's percussion arrangement of Dance of the Tumblers from the The Snow Maiden requires lightness, buoyancy, and ensemble awareness from its performers. The arrangement is written for 13 medium-to-advanced players with most mallet parts designed to be played with two mallets. In 2/4 throughout, it's good, happy fun for mom and dad as long as the kiddos don't bang too hard!
This piece comes as a professionally printed and bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or for tablet viewing.
