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. 10435057 Percussion Ensemble with CD-ROM for 12-13 Players . . . . . .MA 40.00 H Blue Rondo a La TurkDave Brubeck/arr. Cockarell. This arrangement of Dave Brubeck's classic jazz standard is a great addition to your jazz settings for percussion ensemble.

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. 10083714 Percussion Ensemble 8 Players. . . . . . . . . . . . .MA 45.00 n Blunder and Thazesarr. Larry Lawless. As the spoonerized title suggests, you've found a slap stick arrangement of Julius Fucik's Thunder and Blazes (also known as Entry of the Gladiators). The melody of the original circus march gets a treatment of whistles, ratchets and other clownish effects giving a rollicking boost to the spirit of Fucik's masterpiece. If you're in search of a piece that'll wake up your audience and make them smile, look no further! 10494381 Percussion Ensemble 12 Players . . . . . . . . . . .MA 45.00 Brazilian BeatJoel Smales. This creative collection presents six originals in a variety of Brazilian drumming styles.

Your audience will have a blast! 10351248 Percussion Quintet . . . . .MA 14.50 n Creepy Little Wiggly ThingsGary Gilroy.

This drum-battle- style snare drum quintet is the pure definition of intense! Loaded with flash but still accessible to a high school ensemble. The piece simply refuses to be forgotten! 10559393 Percussion Quintet Snare Drums. . . . . . . . . .MA 25.00 n FunkadunkScott 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! 10435062 Percussion Ensemble 9 Players plus CD-ROM . . . . . . . . . . A 45.00 n The Graveyard BluesClarence Woods/arr. Yurika Kimura. Here is an entertaining rag with some spookiness around the edges.

Crockarell. This classic holiday favorite provides the perfect setting for the upbeat percussion ensemble.

Sure to impress! 5622212 Percussion Ensemble 14 Players . . . . . . . . . . .MA 45.00 n Minor InfractionRick 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! 10497325 Percussion Ensemble 9-13 Players. . . . . . . . . .MA 45.00 n The REM CycleDustin 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! 10497320 Percussion Ensemble 12 Players . . . . . . . . . . .MA 40.00 RunJared Spears.

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. 10346200 Percussion Ensemble 14 Players . . . . . . . . . . .MA 48.00 n Sizzle!Nathan Daughtrey.
