While the intention was for \u003ci\u003eSlym Honey\u003c\/i\u003e to be a part of a larger work, the composer chose instead to allow this piece, with its multiple facets, to stand on its own.  The work opens in a moderate 7\/8 time, while throwing in sections of 3\/8 or 4\/8 to mix things up.  After a slower, more melodic middle section,  the piece returns to its previous ferocity featuring the non-pitched percussion instruments, this time in 4\/4,  which builds to a spectacular close.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \"Percussion\" parts are broken into 3 groups: Percussion 1 requires 4 players (1 Snare, 1 Bass, 2 Cymbals).  One cymbal player should cover the suspended cymbal and hi-hat parts while the other plays strictly the crash cymbal parts.  Percussion 2 and 3 each requires 2 players.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of players - 14\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty - Medium-Advanced\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cbr\u003eBells\u003cbr\u003eXylophone\u003cbr\u003eVibraphone (2)\u003cbr\u003eMarimba (2) (4 mallets, 4.0 octaves)\u003cbr\u003eSnare Drum\u003cbr\u003eBass Drum\u003cbr\u003eCymbals (Suspended, Hi-Hat, and Crash pair)\u003cbr\u003eTom-Toms (4)\u003cbr\u003eCongas\u003cbr\u003eTambourine\u003cbr\u003eTriangle\u003cbr\u003eClaves\u003cbr\u003eWoodblocks\u003cbr\u003eGong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew Stawick\u003c\/b\u003e has been involved in percussion as a student, performer, teacher, composer\/arranger and clinician for 15 years.
