{"product_id":"blume-west-winds","title":"Blume-West Winds (SP)-B\/V\/X\/M\/4T\/P","description":"\u003cp\u003eComposed during the transition of spring to summer, Brian Blumes’s percussion ensemble piece West Winds is inspired by the mild and gentle winds that usher in a new season. In this piece, Blume utilizes different percussive effects like clusters of various wind chimes, mark trees, and suspended cymbals to create the illusion of wind sounds. As a contrast to this ambient and lyrical music, the piece also features a very deep groove with tom-toms and a djembe part creating rhythmic interest throughout. The timpani part is optional, making the piece performable by 9-10 players.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWest Winds comes as a professionally printed and bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or for tablet viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of players: 9-10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifficulty: Elementary\/intermediate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstrumentation:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 1: Glockenspiel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 2: Xylophone, triangle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 3: Vibraphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 4: Marimba (4.3 octave, shared w\/player 5), opt. suspended cymbal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 5: Marimba (4.3 octave, shared w\/player 4), , opt. suspended cymbal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 6: 4 timpani (optional), suspended cymbal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 7: Djembe, wind chimes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 8: Suspended cymbal, 2 toms (medium \u0026amp; large)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 9: Wind chimes, mark tree, tambourine,  concert bass drum (shared w\/Player 10)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 10: suspended cymbal,  concert bass drum (shared w\/Player 9)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43826921963574,"sku":"TSPCE20-031","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/blume-west-winds-sp-b-v-x-m-4t-p.jpg?v=1773505874","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/blume-west-winds","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
