{"product_id":"casella-beyond-the-clouds","title":"Casella-Beyond the Clouds (SP)-2B\/2V\/C\/Cro.\/X\/4M\/4T\/P","description":"Jim Casella's Beyond the Clouds was written after a transformational trip to Nepal where he and a group of friends trekked for weeks to the remote Himalayan base of the Annapurna massif. This piece for full percussion orchestra calls for a few rare instruments found in that region, which give the piece a unique sound. Instruments like Himalayan yak bells, singing bowl, bamboo wind chimes, Tibetan finger cymbals, and pod rattles all cohere into one exotic and expansive sound palette. With driving rhythms, nuanced space, and layered, memorable themes that make Casella's music so unique, Beyond the Clouds is a vibrant representation of the human spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis piece comes with a full, bound score and includes a CD-ROM containing an audio recording and all individual parts available for printing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of players: 12\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty: Advanced\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 1: Glockenspiel, mark tree, bongos, slapstick\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 2: Xylophone, vibraslap. mark tree, conga, glockenspiel\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 3: Chimes, crotales (2 octaves), sizzle cymbal, China cymbal, splash cymbal, singing bowl, garden weasel\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 4: Vibraphone 1, temple blocks\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 5: Vibraphone 2, claves, 3 high woodblocks, suspended cymbal\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 6: Marimba 1 (4.3 octave), small shaker\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 7: Marimba 2 (4.3 octave), suspended cymbal, Tibetan finger cymbals\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 8: Marimba 3 (4.6 octave), suspended cymbal, Tibetan finger cymbals\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 9: Marimba 4 (4.6 octave), small Chinese gong\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 10: 4 timpani, 2 triangles\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 11: 4 concert toms, Himalayan yak bells, snare drum, suspended cymbal, 2 cowbells, energy chime, ankles bells\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 12: Concert bass drum, kick drum, tam tam, mark tree, bamboo wind chimes, hi hat, ride cymbal, bell tree, rainstick, sleigh bells, pod rattle","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43826903449654,"sku":"TSPCE17-021","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/casella-beyond-the-clouds-sp-2b-2v-c-cro-x-4m-4t-p.jpg?v=1773487302","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/casella-beyond-the-clouds","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
