Sandman’s <strong>Castle</strong> received its premiere performance from Dame Evelyn Glennie, at the<br />
Museum of Old and New Arts (MONA) Festival of Music and Art, in Hobart, Australia, on<br />
17 January 2016. This edition includes revisions, made by the composer after the premiere,<br />
which shortened the work to less than 50 measures.<br />
Instrumentation<br />
• 1 large tam-tam<br />
• 2 metal knitting needles<br />
• 1 large superball mallet<br />
• 1 medium superball mallet (alternatively 3 medium or small superball mallets with their<br />
sticks tied together)<br />
• 1 small superball mallet<br />
• 2 triangle beaters<br />
• 1 shell wrist shaker<br />
• 2 Korean metal chopsticks<br />
• 2 snare drum sticks<br />
• 1 tam-tam beater<br />
• 1 or more music boxes. Pull-string versions are the most convenient so that they<br />
automatically stop. The music boxes can all be the same music or entirely different from<br />
one another. Choose themes that are simple and suitable for young children (e.g. Brahms’<br />
Lullaby, Happy Birthday, J.S. Bach’s May the Sheep Safely Graze, etc.; definitely no pop<br />
songs).<br />
• Thimble (optional)<br />
