This piece was a fun one to play. The chimes really stand out. There's also a really cool xylophone solo. Composer Notes: Based on an early American fiddle tune, the melody is fully explored and developed in a variety of harmonizations and instrumental colors, and is particularly noteworthy for the extensive use of mallet percussion as well as important parts for piano and harp.
