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.
One of Debussy’s more recognizable and crowd-pleasing pieces, this arrangement is a challenging piece to perform not for its technical requirements, but more for its expressive demands (dynamics and tempo) and the ability for the ensemble to listen to one another.
This lively refrain and variations from the French Baroque master gives the intermediate to advanced soloist a chance to show off the agility required of runs, turns and ornamental figures at a rapid pace.
