Higuita! (4 Players)
Description
4 players
What has 8 legs, 61 keys, and is known as "El Loco?" ¡Higuita!, that's what. You'll have to read the program notes to find out why. This piece is written as a short, flashy encore piece to showcase four players sharing one marimba.
Composed for the British percussion quartet 4-MALITY by Stephen Whibley (BBC Concert Orchestra percussionist), ¡Higuita! is a mad-fast guaracha that will sizzle when played with groovy flair. If audiences were wowed by your concert, they'll be doing scorpion kicks for this encore!
5-octave Marimba (shared by four players)
