{"product_id":"finley-zenith","title":"Finley-Zenith (SP)-B\/2V\/X\/3M\/P","description":"Zenith is an astronomical term that refers to the point in the sky that is directly overhead from a particular point on Earth. Metaphorically, a zenith can be the pinnacle of what can be achieved in any given endeavor. This work by Benjamin Finley may be that very zenith for ambitious ensembles aiming for something both challenging and appealing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZenith motives can be found throughout the piece in the form of various ascending scale passages, as well as some of the more rhythmically virtuosic moments featuring rapid meter changes. The composer also calls for \"spinners\" to be used in each player's setup. Spinners are comprised of purposed pieces of resonant metal that are set into a spinning motion, producing a stereophonic vibrato effect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBenjamin Finley's compositional voice is enthusiastic, hopeful, and ambitious. Zenith embodies these qualities in which both players and audiences will be rewarded.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZenith ships in a professionally bound folio with a full-color cover, including individual parts on CD-ROM.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of players: 8\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty: Advanced\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 1: Glockenspiel, xylophone, small tom, high woodblock, spinning metal\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 2: vibraphone, small tom, medium woodblock, spinning metal\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 3: vibraphone, medium tom, medium low woodblock, spinning metal\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 4: marimba (4 octave), medium low tom, spinning metal\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 5: marimba (4 octave), low tom, spinning metal\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 6: marimba (5 octave), floor tom or concert bass drum, spinning metal\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 7: kick drum, low tom, 2 congas, high and low skillets, triangle, hi-hat, splash cymbal, spinning metal\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 8: drumset, 2 bongos, high and low brake drums, spinning metal","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43826908594230,"sku":"TSPCE16-005","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/finley-zenith-sp-b-2v-x-3m-p.jpg?v=1773488455","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/finley-zenith","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
