Christian-Dawn (SP)-B/V/X/M/C/4T/P/PN/CB

Dawn (A Tone Poem) by Bobby Christian is a percussion ensemble piece written for 8-10 players. It is written for 8 percussionists with an optional piano part and string bass part. This piece would work well for a beginner ensemble as the parts are not complex. However the vibraphone, marimba, and xylophone parts all require four mallets.

Player 3 - xylophone

Player 4 - timpani

Player 5 - gong, suspended cymbal
