The instruments were carefully chosen to best emulate specific orchestral sounds from Claude Debussy's arrangement of this timeless piano solo. For example, chimes are used to create the sound of the bell-tone technique played by the french horns in Debussy's arrangement. A more obvious example is how timpani played specifically with a soft mallet is used to emulate the double bass.

To minimize the size of the ensemble, some players have one or two extra instruments. The timpanist for example will play suspended cymbal at times. Also, both auxiliary parts have multiple instruments. This could be an ideal first guide for handling such a part. A group of eight dedicated percussionists will find a true and felt connection to legitimate classical music.

This piece is written for two Vibraphones (3-octave and 4-octave), Glockenspiel, Chimes, Xylophone, two 4.3-octave Marimbas, Timpani, 6in Triangle, Wind Chimes, Concert Bass Drum, two Suspended Cymbals. An alternate 3-octave Vibraphone part is included to substitute ensembles with no access to a 4-octave instrument. This is reflected in the included alternate score.

Written for the Phantom Regiment percussion ensemble, Rochambeaux was awarded first prize in the 2001 DCI percussion ensemble competition. The dominating 7/8 feel, flashy keyboard runs, and ethnic modalities drive the three distinct sections of this groove-based work.

As an option, an 11th player may be added as a featured marimba soloist. There is a separate part for this optional soloist which can be featured over an elongated treatment of the slower, middle phrase. Other solos may be traded among some (or all) other performers during the 6/8 African section ensuring that no two performances of this piece will ever be the same. Certain to garner audience appeal!

This is thought by many to be the greatest piece of music ever written.  Jerry Davis completed his interpretation of the first two movements of this great symphony transcribing each note for each instrument into a MIDI sequencer within Cakewalk's Sonar X1 Producer.  The software for the instruments is East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra Platinum Plus.

The opening of the first movement of this great symphony resembles an orchestra warming up before it bursts forth with bombastic, boastful, blissful, blasts of emphatic emphasis.

Iliya Rashkovskiy that 2011 year was a 3rd prize winner of the A. Rubinstein Piano Competition in Tel Aviv. Later he conquered the 1st prize at Hamamatsu International Piano Competition in Japan.
The new, very fresh Polish orchestra, established just few months before this performance, showed great musicianship and yet maturity. The concert master for that memorable evening was Tomasz Tomaszewski - 1st concert master of Deutsche Oper Berlin.
