Clapping Music Variations

Using both hand clapping and traditional percussion, this large ensemble (11 players) provides everyone with a wonderful opportunity to explore all types of rhythm combinations.  Written all in 3/4 meter, many types of instrumentation are explored through this four and a half minute production.  Some instruments included are: two drumset configurations; two vibraphones; four marimbas; low and high pitched bells; crotales; orchestra bells; xylophone; gong; hammered dulcimer or cimbalom.  While written more for the advancing ensemble, this would be a good challenge for many developing ensembles.
