{"product_id":"hawk-royal-quartet","title":"Hawk-Royal Quartet (SP)-2V\/Cro.\/2M","description":"\u003cp\u003eComposer Nathan Hawk describes Royal Quartet as \"a vehicle for performers to explore emotion and musicality. It takes the players through a melancholic journey, ebbing and flowing subtly to give listeners an intricate soundtrack for their thoughts and feelings.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piece, scored entirely for mallet instruments, drives forward with an expressive energy. Grooves in 4\/4 frequently alternate with 16th note passages in 7\/8, leading to an engaging mix of musical ideas. Calmer moments see the vibraphone voices featured in a lyrical fashion, while the \"moto perpetuo\" of the marimbas provides a wave-like feel. Using every 4-mallet technique in the book, this work provides the opportunity for intermediate-advanced quartets to display a mastery of chamber musicianship skills. A wonderful addition to recitals or contest repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoyal Quartet ships as a printed, professionally bound score, and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or tablet viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of players: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifficulty: Intermediate\/advanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstrumentation:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 1: Marimba (4.6 octave)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 2: Marimba (4.3 octave w\/4.5 oct. options)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 3: Vibraphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 4: Vibraphone, crotales (low octave)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43826929205302,"sku":"TSPCE22-010","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/hawk-royal-quartet-sp-2v-cro-2m.jpg?v=1773511242","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/hawk-royal-quartet","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
