{"product_id":"hall-surfacing","title":"Hall-Surfacing (SP)-B\/2V\/Cro.\/4M\/P\/PN","description":"Surfacing (2015) begins with a tumultuous introduction where several emerging pitch centers eventually coalesce into a three-note descending bassline. The bassline then fragments into different voices and occurs at multiple rates of speed on top of a relentless sixteenth note keyboard ostinato. During a more tranquil middle section, the descending bassline is gradually repurposed as the foundation of an ascending chord progression. After a short recapitulation and long delayed harmonic resolution, the dust settles and the piece concludes with a piano-led epilogue. In the end of the piece the ascending chord progression is all that remains, accompanied only by a few musical artifacts from the introduction.-Dave Hall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of players: 13\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty:Intermediate\/advanced\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 1: Crotales (2 octaves)\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 2: Bells\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 3: Vibraphone 1\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 4: Vibraphone 2\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 5: Marimba 1 (4-octave)\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 6: Marimba 2 (5-octave)\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 7: Marimba 3 (5-octave), Djembe\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 8: Marimba 4 (5-octave)\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 9: Piano\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 10: Rainstick, Spring Coil, Swish Knocker, Bongos, Tam-Tam\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 11: High Woodblock, Ocean Drum, Kick Bass Drum, China Cymbal, Bell Tree, Garden Weasel\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 12: Medium Woodblock, Ocean Drum, China Cymbal, Ribbon Crasher\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 13: Low Woodblock, Concert Bass Drum, Echo Chimes, Tam-Tam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43800296751158,"sku":"22390","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/hall-surfacing-sp-b-2v-cro-4m-p-pn.jpg?v=1773372426","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/hall-surfacing","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
