About this arrangement

Mallet ensemble (Soloist:, xylophone, Accompaniment:, 2 marimbas* -- low A, Piano -- can be used with soloist only, or optionally in conjunction w, marimba quartet accompaniment.) - Med-Easy SKU: TA.TSPCE19-002 For solo xylophone with marimba quartet or piano accompaniment. Composed by W.C. Powell. Arranged by Ralph Hicks. Percussion Ensembles. Folio & Parts on CD-ROM. Tapspace Publications #TSPCE19-002. Published by Tapspace Publications (TA.TSPCE19-002). Funny Folks, by W.C. Powell, is a simple, catchy, and upbeat ragtime piece arranged for solo xylophone and marimba quartet by Ralph Hicks. The xylophone part is characterized by a largely single line melody, with very few double stops, and no rolls shorter than a quarter note. The simplicity of the xylophone part makes it accessible to most beginning to intermediate mallet players and is a perfect introduction to the genre. Funny Folks can also be found in The Golden Age of Ragtime, a compilation of five classic ragtime pieces arranged by Ralph Hicks and Eric Rath! This piece comes as a professionally printed and bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or for tablet viewing.* One of the low A marimbas can be swapped with a low F marimba (4.5 octave) allowing extended range parts to be performed if a larger instrument is available.
