Review:
The sultry Arab Dance from Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker" is here set for sextet with a medium difficulty rating in the key of g minor. Mallets on tabled bells keep ringers 5 & 6 busy while the other ringers divide up further accompaniment and the melody. The tempo is allegretto (quarter note = 138), and measures total 96.
