Elster-Early Music (SP)-2M SVITZER EDITION

Early Music arranged for marimba duo by Martin Elster. This collection of medieval and Renaissance music arranged for two 4.3-octave marimbas includes individual parts and a score. All arrangements are for two mallets. You will find in this collection pieces from England, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, ranging from the earliest exant keyboard music to a courante by Handel. Also here are a dozen songs from the late fourteenth century French-Cypriot repertory. These lyrical, highly rhythmic pieces are in a style that has come to be known as ars subtilior ("the subtle art"). You will hear cross-rhythms, bird calls, and jazzy syncopation in these ballades, virelais, and rondeaux.
