Norrskens Dans

Remington, Jacob

Advanced Concert Percussion

18 Players

After a slow & ominous introduction, Jacob Remington's "Norrskens Dans" establishes itself as tour-de-force work not for the feint of heart. Driven by a large assortment of keyboard instruments and four multiple percussion stations, this piece grabs hold and doesn't let you go until the final note.
