Four music stands will be needed - for marimba, marimba (upper), vibraphone and drum set. One percussionist is required to play both marimba and vibraphone. It is possible to play this piece using only one marimba as long as there is a clear space for the vibraphone/upper marimba player to move quickly between the instruments (although the beginning would be easier with two marimbas) . Vibraphone pedalling is left to the discretion of the player, but is advised where marked. The trio is written for a marimba spanning four octaves from the C below middle C. All tremolos are unmeasured, no matter how they are notated. Rests are usually notated on one stave only - whichever is appropriate at the time (except where the music crosses from one stave to another). Both cymbals are suspended. Cymbal crashes have no specified duration and should be left to ring. Rests in the drum part are usually placed on the part of the stave where the action is: in the interests of clarity for quick reading rests on the bongo, conga and tom tom lines may only be complete when taken as a unit. Rests on the cymbal line are generally complete where the cymbals are in use, while all rests (including complete bars) are marked on the pedal bass drum line. The choice of sticks is left to the performers. Drum notation: Vibraphone - Marimba - Drums Percussion Trio John Wynne

Four music stands will be needed - for marimba, marimba (upper), vibraphone
and drum set. One percussionist is required to play both marimba and vibraphone.
It is possible to play this piece using only one marimba as long as there is a clear
space for the vibraphone/upper marimba player to move quickly between the
instruments (although the beginning would be easier with two marimbas) .
Vibraphone pedalling is left to the discretion of the player, but is advised where marked.
The trio is written for a marimba spanning four octaves from the C below middle C.
All tremolos are unmeasured, no matter how they are notated. Rests are usually notated
on one stave only - whichever is appropriate at the time (except where the music crosses
from one stave to another).
Both cymbals are suspended. Cymbal crashes have no specified duration and should
be left to ring. Rests in the drum part are usually placed on the part of the stave where
the action is: in the interests of clarity for quick reading rests on the bongo, conga and
tom tom lines may only be complete when taken as a unit. Rests on the cymbal line are
generally complete where the cymbals are in use, while all rests (including complete bars)
