“The Phaeacians” for 4 percussion players was written as a part of the Odyssey ballet. Every performer has a different set-up of drums so combined there is a whole range from low to high and every performer has also two tambourines. Together they make transitions between different sections. One more specification about the setup is two balafons (can be replaced by marimbas or something similar).
