Lydian Game

The roots of Lydian Game lie in music school practice. It can be learned by all from beginners to advanced students - giving everyone of them the possibility to achieve optimally within their own capabilities. Those players who have so far only worked on drums or the drum set will be given the chance to learn mallet play. You need: 1 marimba (used by 2 players), xylophone, vibraphone, 2 conga drums, 2 bongoa, guiro, 5 roto-toms, triangle and drum set. A total of 8 players is needed to perform the piece. In his preface, Giesecke makes various suggestions as to its performance.
