The ground was covered with ice and snow and there was a calm, quiet winter sun emerging through the overcast sky. This piece embodies the colors of snow and the calm it brings. Using both traditional and non-traditional instrumentation, Snow begins and ends with a crackling of breaking ice, shown here by the improvised paper and plastic bags. The amplified record player gives the sense of an old time radio show. Utilizing a minimalistic format, the bell ostinato is carried throughout harmonically with support by the xylophone and vibraphone. The bass marimba and synthesizer parts offer a break from the ostinato with soli sections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSnow was arranged for and premiered by the University of Puget Sound Summer FantaSTICKS Percussion Ensemble, May 25, 2007.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation:\u003cbr\u003eBells (1 or 2 players)\u003cbr\u003eXylophone\u003cbr\u003eVibraphone (1 or 2 players)\u003cbr\u003eMarimba, 4.3 oct (1 or 2 players)\u003cbr\u003eBass marimba, 5.0 oct, and paper bag\u003cbr\u003eSynthesizer, and amplified record player or plastic bag\u003cbr\u003eTimpani, 32\", 29\", 26\", 23\", and plastic bag\u003cbr\u003eDrum set\u003cbr\u003eNumber of players: 8-10\u003cbr\u003ePerformance time: 6 minutes\u003cbr\u003eGrade: IV","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43804988866614,"sku":"OBER\/SNOW","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/oberhofer-snow-sp-b-v-x-2m-4t-ds-synth.jpg?v=1773457211","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/oberhofer-snow-sp-b-v-x-2m-4t-ds-synth","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
