{"product_id":"heiny-crossing","title":"Heiny-Crossing the Threshold (SP)-B\/CRO\/3M\/P\/3V\/X\/PN","description":"\u003cp\u003eCrossing the Threshold is an intricate work by Chad Heiny for 11 percussionists and piano. It symbolizes the popular narrative concept of “The Hero's Journey” in which a hero departs on an adventure, triumphs through crisis, and ultimately returns enlightened and transformed by the experience. While not entirely programmatic, its arc also suggests the ongoing journey of a talisman - an object passed along from person to person, and generation to generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA richly orchestrated piece for intermediate-advanced ensembles, performers must frequently maintain independent lines that serve to weave a broader musical tapestry. Special techniques like bowed vibraphones, crotales performed like finger cymbals in a variety of ways, and numerous energetic, drummy interjections ultimately create a wide spectrum of colors representative of contemporary percussion composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eCrossing the Threshold ships as a printed, professionally bound score, and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or tablet viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eNumber of Players: 12\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eDifficulty: Med-Advanced\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eInstrumentation: \r\n        \u003cul\u003e\r\n            \u003cli\u003eGlockenspiel\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n            \u003cli\u003eCrotales (4 notes removed and played like finger cymbals, need both octaves)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n            \u003cli\u003eXylophone\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n            \u003cli\u003e3 vibraphones\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n            \u003cli\u003e3 marimbas — (2) low A, (1) 5-octave)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n            \u003cli\u003ePiano\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n            \u003cli\u003eDrums — bongos, doumbek, field drum, kick drum (mounted), piccolo snare drum, tamborim\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n            \u003cli\u003eCymbals \u0026amp; gongs — small crash cymbal, 2 sizzle cymbals, tam-tam\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n            \u003cli\u003eAccessories — bell tree, caxixi (2), claves, mark tree (echo tree if possible), sleigh bells, small tambourine, sonic energy bell, 2 triangles\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n        \u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n    \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43826930057270,"sku":"TSPCE22-022","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/heiny-crossing-the-threshold-sp-b-cro-3m-p-3v-x-pn.jpg?v=1773513056","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/heiny-crossing","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
