Tendencies

Tendencies is a keyboard percussion ensemble with flexible instrumentation that explores the tendencies of four scale degrees and two time signatures as it moves between four key signatures all hinging on a single pitch: C. It is playable by as few as four players on a shared low-A marimba with additional parts that expand the ensemble to 10 players. All parts are written for two mallets per player and are scored for shared instruments to limit equipment needs.
