Part IV is a reinforcement for parts I to III. You can play without it, but it gives the overall thickness.


Difficulty: Intermediate to Advanced


In the Vibraphone part, your daily basic skills (especially arpeggios) will become important. Because there are fewer people, sound mistakes can cause harmony to break down.
Regardless of the strength and weakness of notation, Glocken should be played with the overall balance.


Since two people will play one Vibraphone, dampering (pedaling) is the key.
For this song, it's a good idea to adjust the intensity and weakness of Glocken to consider the overall balance.


Make effective use of the part you decide (the pattern from the 4th beat of bar 15 to the next 1st beat) to prevent it from becoming flat throughout the song. There are several silent parts, but be aware that the music continues.
You need to be careful not to fall on your Xylophone.


If you start at the beginning of the game, you will always get stuck by repeatedly hitting the same note (near C). It is important to start by setting the tempo of the part that is most difficult to play.


The Marimba 2 is easier to play with three pieces than the four mallets. In this case, we recommend two on the left hand (each varies from person to person).
If you don't remember which scores are, you will end up colliding with the performer next to you, so you will need to read the score properly.


This piece tends to be slower than other movements, so it's a good idea to play it lightly so that it doesn't get too heavy. However, you need to be careful not to destroy the image of Japanese.


The above explanation is based on the subjective opinion of our staff.
Please follow the instructions of the instructor when actually playing.

<Commenter's comments>
With the theme of "color," I felt that the colors danced to the image that the colors bring, and gave the impression of the song.
There is no song order. You can start with your favorite color and end with your favorite color, or you can excerpt the color, or just one color is fine. Feel free to combine them.

All songs are free to change the number of people and change the instruments, as long as you do not change the essence of the song throughout the entire song. In addition, you can play it even if you omit the fourth part of all songs.
