Marimba with Crotales
Vibraphone with Glockenspiel, Supsended Cymbal and Kick Drum
Piano
3 Amplified Treble Vocalists with the appropriate ranges (1:G#4-A#5, 2:C#4-D#5, 3:F#3-G#4)
Violin
Viola
Cello
Notes:
This piece is based on my childhood neuroticism. I was and am obsessed with this pattern that goes - (L=left, R=Right, T=together)

The pattern uses 50 beats which I divide into 10 so it's great for tapping fingers and toes. While this is hard to explain via type hopefully you can hear the pattern in the music.
