Bascule -- marimba & cajón (music score)
A BASCULE is a drawbridge. The metaphor seemed appropriate for this piece, as it contrasts the high and low ranges of the marimba and cajón before finally bringing the full ranges together.

<strong>Bascule</strong><br />
for <strong>marimba</strong> and <strong>cajón</strong><br />
Adam Scott Neal<br />
2012
DURATION: 7 minutes<br />
PROGRAM NOTE:<br />
A <strong>Bascule</strong> is a drawbridge. The metaphor seemed appropriate for this piece, as it contrasts the<br />
high and low ranges of the <strong>marimba</strong> and <strong>cajón</strong> before finally bringing the full ranges together.<br />
PERFORMANCE NOTES:<br />
1. The <strong>marimba</strong> part is written for a 4-octave instrument.<br />
2. The notation for the <strong>cajón</strong> demonstrates the placement of the hands on the instrument. The<br />
notes on the ledger line below the staff are the low bass tone, and the notes above the staff will<br />
be the very top (with finger tips). Otherwise the height on the staff are general guidelines.<br />
3. The “slap mallets” refer to Balter Emil Richards slap mallets. If unavailable, rutes would make<br />
acceptable substitutes.<br />
Score engraved by the composer in Lilypond.<br />
