Tristch–Tratsch Polka (Septet)

Descripción

The original work was written for orchestra and it is one of the famous polkas of J. Straus (son). This version is written for an instrumental septet: a flute, 4 marimba players (on 2 marimbas ) and 2 percussionists. This version must be played, at least, with a marimba of 5 octaves and a marimba of 4 octaves. This score was created for an order which ended up as the sound track of the short film made in playdough: “Rascal Street”, nominated with 4 Goyas in 2009. The flute is soloist, whereas the 4 marimba players and the percussionist become the osquestra, keeping up the tension of both rhythm and harmony. Difficulty: Intermediate Level
