{"product_id":"rath-helix","title":"Rath-HeliX (SP)-B\/V\/C\/1-2M\/4T\/P","description":"\u003cp\u003eEric Rath’s HeliX was commissioned by a consortium of educators lead by Indiana percussion educator, Kyle Lutes. The purpose of the commission was to add serious, quality literature to the percussion ensemble repertoire that would focus on the first few techniques learned as percussionists begin four-mallet keyboard playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo that end, a fair amount of four-mallet playing occurs throughout the piece, but always in service to the music rather than sounding like a glorified etude. This exciting and groove-oriented piece is geared toward intermediate high school or advanced middle school ensembles, and will be a satisfying feature to any concert program.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis piece comes as a professionally printed and bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or for tablet viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of players: 8-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifficulty: Intermediate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstrumentation:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 1: Glockenspiel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 2: Chimes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 3: Vibraphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 4: Marimba 1 (4-octave or share w\/ M2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 5: Marimba (4.3 octave or optional 4.5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 6: 4 timpani\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 7: bongos, 2 concert toms, concert bass drum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 8: tam-tam, splash cymbal, suspended cymbal, stacked China cymbal, hi-hat cymbal, finger cymbals, sizzle cymbal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 9: ribbon crasher, sleigh bells, temple blocks, triangle, brake drum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43826920357942,"sku":"TSPCE20-011","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/rath-helix-sp-b-v-c-1-2m-4t-p.jpg?v=1773503731","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/rath-helix","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
