The characteristics of such an event are sonically represented by drums and cymbals for thunder, and metallics and melodic instruments for snow.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece is scored with flexibility in mind, accommodating a wide range of player experience levels and may be performed with as few as 18 players and as many as 24 or more. When a full complement of players is possible, antiphonal parts for impact drums positioned strategically around the audience create a fully immersive “surround sound” experience during key moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThundersnow ships as a fully bound score (11” x 14”) and includes individual parts in PDF format for either printing or tablet viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Information:\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of players: 18-24\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDifficulty: Intermediate\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eInstrumentation:\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 1: Glockenspiel (1 or 2 players), opt. thunder tube*\u003c\/li\u003e \r\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 2: Crotales (2 octaves), opt. thunder tube* \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 3: Chimes, opt. whirly tube* (F-natural), opt. thunder tube*\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 4: Vibraphone 1, opt. thunder tube*\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 5: Vibraphone 2\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 6: Vibraphone 3\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 7: Xylophone, thunder tube\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 8: Marimba 1 (shared w\/Player 11), medium high tom, opt. tuned wine glass (D-flat)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 9: Marimba 2 (4.3 octave), medium tom, opt. tuned wine glass (F)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 10: Marimba 3 (4.5 octave), medium tom, opt. tuned wine glass (C)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 11: Marimba 4 (5 octave), medium tom, opt. tuned wine glasses (G, A-flat, B-flat)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 12: 4 or 5 Timpani\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 13: Piano\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 14: Synthesizer (opt.)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 15: Drumset, opt. marching snare drum\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 16: Medium tom, tam-tam (share w\/Player 9), 2 tambourines (orchestral and headless), 3 triangles, garden weasels (may sub triangle)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 17: Mark tree, slapstick, sleigh bells, woodblock, suspended cymbal, concert bass drum 2 (opt.), China cymbal (opt.)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 18: 3 toms, bell tree (opt.)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 19: Concert bass drum, tam-tam, opt. whirly tube* (G-natural)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 20 (opt.): Bass\/impact drums, whirly tubes (F-natural and G-natural)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e*used only if Player 20 part is not covered\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43826934579254,"sku":"TSPCE24-012","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/locke-thundersnow-sp-b-3v-c-cro-x-3m-4t-p-pn-opt-synth.jpg?v=1773521251","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/locke-thundersnow","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
