Timpania Grade 2

This publication for eight players, is an interesting and creative work for the beginning percussion ensemble, featuring the timpanist. This is a fun work that sounds great and comes together very quickly. The parts are of mixed difficulty so there is a part for any level of student. Many parts can be easily doubled in increase the size of this ensemble from eight to twelve players. TIMPANIA works well with a large younger ensemble of mixed abilities and attention spans. 

The instrumentation includes bass drum, suspended cymbal, crash cymbals, triangle, wood block, two (2) toms, snare drum and two (2) timpani. The parts are of mixed difficulty so there is a part for any level of student. Many parts can be easily doubled in increase the size of this ensemble from eight (8) to twelve (12) players.
