Performance Notes

In the vibraphone part, usual basic power (especially arpeggio) becomes important. The sound mistake causes the harmony to collapse for a small number. Let glocken play the entire balance, regardless of the strength of the notation. Because two people play one vibraphone, damper ring is key. It is good for glocken to think about the overall balance and to weaken. Let's make use of the part of the decision (the pattern from the 4th beat of the 15th measure to the next 1st beat) so that it does not become planar through one tune. Although there are some silent parts, let's be conscious that music continues. Note that xylophone should be careful not to fall. If you start over the tempo at the beginning, you will always pick up the same sound. It is important to decide the tempo of the part which is hard to play most and start. Marimba 2 is easier to play than 4 mallets. There are two individual differences in the left hand. If you don't remember the score of each other, you will be able to hit the next player. This song is a sound form that tends to be slower than other movements, so it is good to play lightly so that it doesn't become heavy. However, attention is necessary not to break the image of the sum. The above explanation is based on the subjective of our staff. When playing, follow the instructions of the leader.
