The Easy Winners arr. marimba and acoustic guitar


This is an excellent ensemble piece in that it allows for great flexibility in instrument combinations. In this arrangement marimba and acoustic guitars in G the realisation tempo is 76 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute whilst the repeats are not played. Individual instrument parts are appended to the full score and there is an ossia staff for the marimba player to consider. What is interesting about performing this piece is the impact of a change of tempo on the musical character and musical outcomes. A tempo of 70 quarter note beats to the minute sounds quite slow and yet 80 quarter note beats to the minute sounds fast. Generally, there is not a great amount of performance detail indicated in ragtime music although where opportunity arises when repeating sections performers need to explore dynamic range. The formal pattern of Joplin’s ragtime pieces generally have the structure of the typical American March which can be represented by letters as Intro AA BB AA Link CC DD. Guitar accompaniments (Acoustic Guitar 2 sounding) are available as mp3 downloads at tempi of 76, 72, and 68 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. The repeats are played in the accompaniments and there is a four bar count in at the beginning.
