This piece is a duet written for the double seconds and 5 octave marimba. It begins with the marimbist performing a disjointed comping pattern, followed by a playful melody on the upper register of the double seconds, eventually leading the performers into a calypso groove setting up the first theme. With driving rhythms, interplay between both parts, sharp dynamic contrasts, solo sections to showcase each performer and tricky “licks,” this piece will be sure to excite the listener and performer alike.
Probably Elgar’s best remembered and most played composition from it’s use in graduation ceremonies, this march highlights the ability of the ensemble to present contrasting expressive moods in a single piece.
