Product Description
This intermediate-level percussion ensemble work was written to be dynamic and flexible, and is well suited for high school and college groups. While originally a sextet featuring one on a part (Marimba, Vibraphone, 3 Toms, Clay Pots, Tambourine, & Timpani) the mallets, toms, and clay pots parts lend themselves well to part doubling and experimentation with different types of sounds (ex. temple blocks instead of clay pots).
Fictilia can be performed with our without a conductor, and is a great piece for practicing chamber communication, careful listening, and individual part work. Though not necessary, printing the score larger and having the players attach it to poster board makes this piece an ideal introduction to scores and part ownership. Having rehearsed and performed the piece both with full score and individually printed parts, I highly recommend the full score route if time allows. Please write to me and let me know how it goes!
