bell xylophone Marimba Composers

Which Composers used bells, xylophone, Marimba's, sleigh bells?

Which Composers used alot of percussion instruments besides cymbals,bass drum,snare? like wood blocks, temple blocks, wind chimes etc.

What exactly are you asking? Many, many composers used these instruments. Particularly wind ensemble or concert band composers, but they are found all over.

It seems you are a percussion lover, like myself. I never write for an orchestra without mallets or percussion.

To answer your questions: I do!! :D

I heard Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Chopin, Handel,Bach, brahms

symphonies and quartets and never heard of bells, xylophone, Marimba's, sleigh bells,wood blocks, temple blocks, wind chimes

Which composers did use them ? can you please list them

Oh... those instruments, for the most part, didn't enter the symphony orchestra until the late 19th century. Almost all 20th-century composers used them.

Do you know where i can get the names of 20th-century composers?

I don't really know much about 20th century composers or where to find the names do you know where i can find them?

Celesta composers?

Bela Bartok Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta

Which composers used:

Glockenspiel

Tubular Bells

Grand Chimes

Three posts in a row, eh? I believe merging them is in order.

Why don't you use google, walters? Google can be your best buddy...

Im having a hard time finding the names of the composers and the pieces that wrote that used these tuned percussion and percusion instruments can you please help me

Problem is, there are literally hundreds.

Jennifer Higdon's 'Concerto for Orchestra' gives pride of place to Tubular Bells and a lot of these mallet percusion instruments.

Saint-Saens's 'Carnival Of Aniamls' features the Xylophone in a signature early role.

Erich Korngold's 'Symphony in F Sharp Major' uses a lot of mallet percussion.

Khatchaturian's 'Symhpony No. 2' uses Tubular Bells frequently.

I hope that helps get you started!

Thanks for the information

which composers did "Percussion Ensembles" "Percussion Concertos"?

I know composer Cowell did Ensembles and concertos for percussion

Percussion ensembles? There have been several. Let me name a few notable pieces:

Miloslav Kabelac's Eight Inventions for Percussion Op. 45 is a good selection (20 minutes of percussion ensemble music!)

Christopher Rouse wrote two pieces for Percussion Ensemble that I know, 'Ku-Ka-Ilimoku' and 'Ogoun Badagris'

thanks for the help

On Naxo's composers i couldn't find the music for none of this composers

You probably won't find any Naxos CDs of this music. Here's where I found it all:

The Kabelac was on Praga

The Rouse was on Koch International Classics

The Higdon was on Telarc

The Korngold was on EMI

The Khatchaturian was on London

Mozart used sleigh bells in one of his German dances, I believe he titled it "Sleigh Ride". That is the only 18th century piece I remember right off that had one of those instruments. I love lots of percussion also!

A few 20th century composers that i know wrote heaps for percussion are Ross Edwards( wrote alot of solo marimba pieces, "Dragonfly Dances", "Marimba Dances"), and Nigel Westlake, "Omphalo Centric Lecture". Carl Vine wrote a awesome Percussion Symphony, and i think Matthew Hindson is currently writing a percussion concerto. that's all i really know off my head :(
