{"product_id":"powell-funny-folks-hicks","title":"Powell-Funny Folks arr. Hicks (SP)-X\/4M\/opt. PN or X\/PN","description":"Funny Folks, by W.C. Powell, is a simple, catchy, and upbeat ragtime piece arranged for solo xylophone and marimba quartet by Ralph Hicks. The xylophone part is characterized by a largely single line melody, with very few double stops, and no rolls shorter than a quarter note. The simplicity of the xylophone part makes it accessible to most beginning to intermediate mallet players and is a perfect introduction to the genre. Funny Folks can also be found in The Golden Age of Ragtime, a compilation of five classic ragtime pieces arranged by Ralph Hicks and Eric Rath!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis piece comes as a full, bound folio containing both the full ensemble and piano scores. It also includes a CD-ROM with a full ensemble recording and individual parts for printing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of players: 2-6\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty: Intermediate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 1: Xylophone\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 2: Marimba (4.3 octave, shared w\/Player 3)\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 3: Marimba (4.3 octave, shared w\/Player 2)\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 4: Marimba (4.3 octave, shared w\/Player 5)\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 5: Marimba (4.3 octave, shared w\/Player 4)\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 6: Piano (optional)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 1: Xylophone\u003cbr\u003ePlayer 2: Piano","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43826912559158,"sku":"TSPCE19-002","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/powell-funny-folks-arr-hicks-sp-x-4m-opt-pn-or-x-pn.jpg?v=1773488630","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/powell-funny-folks-hicks","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
