Megalovania Arrangement Details

The percussion arrangement available here includes the following instruments:

Glockenspiel
Xylophone
Vibraphone

Marimba (2 players)
Drum set

It is quite a challenging arrangement, mostly for advanced students or fairly experienced musicians. The piece is rather fast with the drummer and the second marimba player supporting the ensemble in rhythm. The marimba starts by introducing the main theme. The drums and the rest of the melodic instruments follow in an endless “chase” after each other. The piece is at D minor key and the measure is 4/4.

If you want to appeal to marimba students or musicians, the second arrangement, the one for two marimbas and four players, is what you need. The musicians who will play the upper octaves on each instrument should have a skill in speed. On the other hand, the bass lines do require a great deal of rhythmic stability, but do not have as many changes of position as the melody.
