Marimba 1 (4-octave)
Marimba 2 (4.3-octave)

*If Marimba 1 and 4 share a 5-octave instrument, this arrangement can be played with one 5-octave and two 4.3-octave instruments.

Program Notes
Carmen, composed by Georges Bizet, is an opera that has been loved by people all over the world. For this arrangement, I chose pieces that are suited for marimba quartet from the opera. – Prelude, Chorus of the Street Boys, Habanera, Intermezzo: Interlude before Act III, Aragonaise, and Gypsy Dance.
