Title
‘Norse Dirge’, from Youthful Suite, parts for Musical glasses, wooden marimba, metal marimba or vibraharp, 1945
Description
Ten players were required to perform the percussion parts for ‘Norse Dirge’, across the variety of instruments, including some of the musical glasses (seen in the display case). Unlike in Tribute to Foster, where the choir played the musical glasses and string players bowed the metal marimba bars, in ‘Norse Dirge’ the players of the percussion section are responsible for all of these elements.
