Mallet Maniacs (Mallet Percussion Feature)
Mark Williams. You've got to check this one out!
If you have mallet percussionists in your band,
whether they play marimba, xylophone, bells or
vibraphone, you'll want this piece in your library!
Mark Williams has written an incredibly appealing
tune with a nostalgic comic flair, featuring light
syncopation over a fun bass line, but that's just the
beginning. The real magic in this one is found in
the awesome mallet parts, that can be played by
one or many percussionists! The parts lay easily as
well, and only require two mallets. The glissandos
are on the "natural" notes, so it sounds much more
difficult than it is. Very highly recommended!

rock feel to the party!

Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho. Initially,

countermelodies decorate and enhance the main
tune in a variety of ways that rivet the listeners'
attention and keep musicians on their toes.
A swinging experience not to be missed!
