{"product_id":"berkhout-running-towards-empty","title":"Berkhout-Running Towards Empty (SP)-B\/V\/2M\/P","description":"\u003cp\u003eRunning Towards Empty is organized using a palindromic form with each of the sections marked by a distinct rhythmic ‘fingerprint’. Its basic form is as follows: A B C B A Coda. The first A section’s fingerprint is a steady pulsation idea that accompanies the works main melodic material. The B section’s main fingerprint, a rhythmic grouping of 3+3+2, is found in the vibraphone part while a sextuplet ostinato rhythm flows underneath in the other parts. The B section itself is organized into its own abc Structure, with each sub-section having a different rhythmic fingerprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C section is organized as a modified palindromic structure abac\/acbc (a palindrome where c substitutes for a after the halfway point in the structure). Some key rhythmic fingerprints for this section include a 4 against 3 pattern, and a canonical treatment of the works melodic material. The B section follows, but the music and its various sections are now infused with a new motivic idea: a descending line, which begins to dominate the sections until the return of the A section and the original tune with the steady pulsations. A virtuosic coda concludes the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of players: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifficulty: Intermediate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstrumentation:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 1: Glockenspiel, chimes, xylophone, marimba (shared w\/player 4)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 2: Vibraphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 3: Marimba 1 (4 octave)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 4: Marimba 2 (5 octave)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 5: Drum set, 2 cans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 6: Thunder sheet, large wood drum, bass drum, gong, guiro, cymbal, Mark tree, castanets, triangle, cowbell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43804123004982,"sku":"BERKHOUTRUNNING","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/berkhout-running-towards-empty-sp-b-v-2m-p.jpg?v=1773501753","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/berkhout-running-towards-empty","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
