{"product_id":"ovalle-epic-proportions","title":"Ovalle-Epic Proportions (SP)-B\/V\/C\/X\/DS\/P","description":"True to its name, Jonathan Ovalle's Epic Proportions is a sextet with bombast and tenacious energy. The piece moves through many feels and time signatures with rhythmic motives derived from the syllables of its title (E-PIC\/ PRO-POR-TIONS) or (2 + 3). Likewise, Ovalle craftily orchestrates duos and trios to accompany the soloist as a way of reinforcing the numbers 2 and 3. Your ensemble will definitely need stellar soloists on marimba and drumset, but the supporting cast will also have to be conscious of polyrhythms and constantly changing meters.\u003cbr\u003eEpic Proportions was commissioned by Brian Zator and the Texas A\u0026amp;M University–Commerce Percussion Ensemble and was premiered at the 2010 Percussive Arts Society International Convention in Indianapolis, IN. \u003cbr\u003eThis piece comes with a full, bound score and includes a CD-ROM containing an audio recording and all individual parts available for printing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of players: 6\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty: Advanced\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 1: Marimba (5 octave)\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 2: Drumset\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 3: Vibraphone, kick drum (on a stand), 2 congas, field drum, mounted castanets\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 4: Xylophone, 2 brake drums, 4 concert toms, piccolo (or firecracker) snare drum, 2 woodblocks     \u003cbr\u003ePlayer 5: Glockenspiel, 2 metal plates, snare drum, 2 bongos, China stack\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 6: Chimes, concert bass drum, 2 cowbells, slapstick, suspended cymbal \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43826910363702,"sku":"TSPCE17-002","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/ovalle-epic-proportions-sp-b-v-c-x-ds-p.jpg?v=1773488528","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/ovalle-epic-proportions","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
