By Dave Gwilliam. By Dave Gwilliam. Arranged by Dave Gwilliam. 21st Century,Classical. 32 pages. Dave Gwilliam #972199. Published by Dave Gwilliam (A0.1388694).

Scored for a percussion ensemble of ten players, Dave Gwilliam’s Incantations for Percussion is a marimba-centric ostinato with multiple other themes superimposed over the top.  Incantations requires two marimbas with eight hands along with other standard mallet instruments and a single ride cymbal.

Completed in Centerville, Utah on April 28, 2019, Incantations is ready for performance by any percussion ensemble eager to take on the challenge.

Instrumentation

1.       Concert Marimba (at least 4 1/3 Octaves) – 2 Players
2.       Concert Marimba (at least 4 1/3 Octaves) – 2 Players
3.       Bass Marimba (or Acoustic Bass)
4.       Xylophone
5.       Vibraphone
6.       Glockenspiel
7.       Tubular Bells
8.       Ride Cymbal

Performance Notes

• If not careful, this could begin to sound computerized – really give it a go with phrasing.
• Marimbas and Xylophone roll half note or greater.
• Letter D and letter F the marimba line is a soaring melody that needs to cut through.
