Anitra's Dance—Edvard Grieg/arr. Brian Blume.
Composed by Edvard Grieg, Anitra's Dance is
preceded by In the Hall of the Mountain King in
the famous Peer Gynt Suite. Originally scored
for strings and triangle, and with a great deal of
pizzicato playing in the strings, it allowed for a fairly
seamlessly transfer to the idiom of percussion
ensemble. The timbral palette is expanded by
the addition of several nonpitched percussion
instruments, and some of the melodic material
has been enhanced by arpeggiated harmonies and
rapid scalar passages, particularly in the marimba
voice. The result is a lovely classical adaptation that
can serve as a quiet programming contrast.

H Blue Rondo a La Turk—Dave Brubeck/arr.
Cockarell. This arrangement of Dave Brubeck's
classic jazz standard is a great addition to your
jazz settings for percussion ensemble. Scored for
eight performers, this very fast, over four-minute
arrangement lends itself extremely well to the
percussion idiom. Instruments needed include
xylophone, two marimbas (one 4-1/2, one 4-1/3
octave), two vibraphones, tambourine, low wood
block, splash and suspended cymbal, congas,
drumset, and bass guitar. Enjoy.

Brazilian Beat—Joel Smales. This creative
collection presents six originals in a variety of
Brazilian drumming styles. The scoring calls for
agogo bells, shaker, whistle, cowbell, samba
whistle, ganza, repenique, snare drum and surdo.
If not all equipment is available, suggestions for
substituting with more traditional instruments are
provided. Parts can also be doubled to create
a massive sound in the Brazilian tradition. Your
audience will have a blast!

Creepy Little Wiggly Things—Gary Gilroy.
Written for a large number of percussionists, 13
total, this piece requires a variety of instruments
both common and a little more unique that might be
associated with the title. Instrumentation includes:
two xylophones, vibraphone, and two marimbas and
chimes, along with many cymbals and smaller hand-
held instruments. Of special interest are: small egg
shaker, cabasa, water gong, bamboo wind chimes,
flexatone, whip, and vibraslap. This energetic
composition is perfect for the growing ensemble or
any ensemble that just wants to have some fun!

H Encore in Jazz—Vic Firth. Here is a tried-and-
true old-school classic! Scored for seven players,
Encore in Jazz has catchy melodies, a smooth
swing feel with sets and kicks in all the right places,
and solo sections that give you the opportunity to
showcase your lead players. Wonderfully written
and accessible to the developing ensemble!

Funkadunk—Scott Higgins. This mixed-meter jam
for percussion ensemble does masterful things with
timbral interplay without losing any of its forward
motion or rhythmic creativity. The triangle part
underpins more disjunct figures in the toms and
bass drum, with wood block hits punctuating the
alternation between 5/8 and 6/8 bars, or between
2, 3, and 4/4 later in the piece. For everyone's sake,
let's hope that no one tries to clap along at your
concert. The audience can just save their clapping
for the end of this fantastic bit of fun and funk!

H Linus and Lucy—Vince Guaraldi/arr. Crockarell.
This classic holiday favorite provides the perfect
setting for the upbeat percussion ensemble.
Scored for the developing student, this just
over three-minute piece shares the traditional
"Peanuts" theme along with a nice jazz riff section
in the middle. Scored for eight performers using
bells, xylophone, marimba, two vibraphones, large
shaker, bongos, congas, bell tree, drumset and
bass guitar, this will certainly have your holiday
concert swinging.

Millennium—Chris Brooks. For advanced
ensembles, this piece sparkles in a lively 5/4 meter.
The celebratory fusion feel allows all 14 players
to shine. The instruments called for are bells,
xylophone, marimba, vibraphone, four timpani,
four concert toms, bass drum, crash cymbals,
woodblock, shaker, guiro, three temple blocks,
suspended cymbal, pang cymbal, and triangle.
Sure to impress!

Minor Infraction—Rick Dior. Masterful composer
Rick Dior brings us a short, sweet, and somewhat
perilous ride through both light and dark territory.
Minor Infraction is scored for 9 to 13 percussionists,
playable as a mallet-and timpani-only ensemble or
with a full complement of orchestral batterie and
some Latin percussion. This original composition
starts off with a sweet yet simple melody expressed
very intimately by a lone marimba and is soon
joined by other voices in harmonious fashion.
Complexity then creeps out of the woodwork with
complex time signatures, extremely fast tempi, and
a three-part musical canon performed in the round.
Finally, as if awakening from a dream, the piece
ends as it began with the solo marimba melody.
Well-crafted and a joy for the listener!

The REM Cycle—Dustin Schulze. Rapid Eye
Movement or REM is a stage of sleep characterized
by the rapid and random movement of the eyes. It is
also the part of sleep where the most vivid dreaming
occurs. Part programmatic, part cinematic, part
minimalist, yet wholly original, composer Dustin
Schulze provides another fun yet challenging
work for percussion ensemble with The REM Cycle.
In a word... wow!

Shades of Glass—Dustin Schulze. An elaborate
piece for large percussion ensemble that is
designed to create a hypnotic sense of euphoria
by way of layered, repetitive figures and colorful
textures. The piano plays a substantial role in adding
to the overall landscape, and the piece will require
all players to have a keen sensitivity for how the
whole ensemble is greater than the sum of its parts.
This piece is unique and challenging, and also quite
accessible for a wide variety of audiences. A CD-
ROM containing an audio recording and printable
parts is included.

Sizzle!—Nathan Daughtrey. A high-energy piece
using several vocal effects that really cooks! Scored
for five players (bongos, splash cym., slapstick,
claves, snare drum, sus. cym., medium tom, low
tom, hi-hat, wood block temple blocks, bass drum,
china cymbal, and log drum).
10019978 Percussion Quintet . . . . .MA 32.00
H Three Brothers—Michael Colgrass. Here is a
piece for percussion nonet that has stood the test
of time. As the title states, Three Brothers is a
three-player feature for snare drum, bongos, and
timpani. The other six players have more supportive
roles, but also get to shine. The piece is high energy
with wonderfully crafted layering and interaction
throughout. A classic!

H
Toccata (for Percussion Instruments)—Carlos
Chavez. A beautifully written, classically oriented
multi-movement work for six players. The parts are
woven well, and, while each percussionists plays
multiple instruments, the set ups are relatively small
making for an impressive yet manageable piece.
