Leonard-Symphony for Percussion mvt. 3: Xylem (SP)-X/2M/P

Xylem is the thrid movement from Stanley Leonard's Symphony for Percussion that was completed in 1969. The Symphony is a work in four movements that highlight different members of the percussion family. Xylem features percussion instruments made of wood. Marimbas and xylophone provide a melody; wood drums, temple blocks, castanets, claves, and woodblocks demonstrate that even non-pitched wooden instruments have a melodic voice. There are nine performers.
