Description

Lewis Norfleet has arranged an excerpt from Nikolai Rimsky-Korsokov's The Snow Maiden for percussion ensemble entitled - Dance of the Tumblers. This light and buoyant piece is written for 13 intermediate to advanced players (mostly written as two mallet parts). In 2/4 time throughout the whole piece, this is a great piece in a percussion concert that allows the audience to rest their ears.
