Designed for developing percussionists beginning to explore four-mallet technique, the piece uses double vertical strokes and comfortable intervals (mainly 4ths and 5ths) as well as a repeated sticking permutation found across all four parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTwo performers play from each side of the marimba—an increasingly popular setup that conserves stage space and encourages ensemble awareness. The writing keeps the “backwards” players primarily on the upper manual to simplify pitch navigation while still creating engaging musical interplay. Directors may also add drumset and tambourine for additional color and rhythmic drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis piece ships as a fully bound score. Individual parts come exclusively in PDF format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/soundcloud%253Atracks%253A2235365153\u0026amp;color=%23ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\u0026amp;visual=true\" height=\"166\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc; line-break: anywhere; word-break: normal; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-weight: 100;\"\u003e\n\u003ca style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Tapspace\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/tapspacepublications\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Flat Circle (John Kosch)\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/tapspacepublications\/flat-circle-john-kosch\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/tapspace\/docs\/flat_circle-sample?fr=sN2MzZjg4ODA4NjY\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/2973\/7494\/files\/download_score_sample_small_aa1b4422-f724-4b42-9953-49885710a3e6.png?v=1669204745\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tapspace Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52675180986711,"sku":"TSPCE25-036","price":46.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/2973\/7494\/files\/TSPCE25-036.jpg?v=1769762895","url":"https:\/\/concertandmarchingmusic.com\/fr\/products\/vflat-circle","provider":"Concert \u0026 Marching Music ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
