Percussion Ensemble - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.935392 Composed by Dan Heslink. Contemporary. Score and parts. 23 pages. Pharaoh Publications #6203899. Published by Pharaoh Publications (A0.935392). Sharks’ Teeth, a Game for any Number of Percussionists. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Dan Heslink Sharks’ Teeth is a musical game, or contest, between two or more percussionists. It is based on rhythm, and can therefore be executed on any combination of indefinitely-pitched percussion instruments. Its execution relies on guided improvisation governed by preconceived thematic material and manners of elaboration. In addition to the two or more contestants, another musician functions as a Game Meister (GM) who controls that game’s progress and evaluation. Enclosed are the game instructions for a contest of guided improvisation, and a notated example for two percussionists and Game Meister, Shark’s Tooth. This score can also be played on recital. After reading the contest instructions, the composer recommends that contestants next play the notated example before attempting the game through improvisation.  Besides being fun to play, this game is also an excellent tool for fostering concentration, musicality, memory and an understanding of musical structure. The composer, Dan Heslink, assigned a difficulty level of medium, and can be contacted at dan@dheslink.com.

Percussion Ensemble - Digital Download SKU: A0.984904 By Billy Vaughn. By Bert Kaempfert. Arranged by JohnBeale. Contemporary. Score and parts. 68 pages. John Beale #6442233. Published by John Beale (A0.984904). For over 40 years I have arranged music for my school's musicians to come together and perform in school concerts. They were mostly grades 1-3.  I tried to arrange the parts to be meaningful but at the same time maintaining an effective, complete and pleasing sound. I often arranged parts with individuals in mind. The piano part is there for support and filling in. Not a difficult piece and very repetitive and catchy. I have arranged this piece for a school orchestra made up of pupils of grades 1-3. I suggest a solo for the first 4 bars (I did with a recorder). At F there is a ‘jazz’ style solo. Choose your instrument. Once I did with a recorder. A second time with a trumpet. Beware you won’t get the tune out of your head!!

The chimes part can be played on the Vibes with hard mallets if there are no chimes.

Moonlight is about that light you have to hold onto when you know your already lost in the dark. I wrote this song after running around with my best friend in town. There were nights, such as Halloween when we nearly got lost but had to find away to get back home, that was the symbolization to the song.

Percussion Ensemble - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.835781 Composed by Paul Burnell. Contemporary. Score and parts. 6 pages. Paul Burnell #3222647. Published by Paul Burnell (A0.835781). Composed 2015. One of a series of fourteen accompaniments to texts published between 1886-1899 Duration 4:45 approx. For percussion (three players) and narrator Narrator text - from 'Le Horla' by Guy de Maupassant (1850 - 1893), published 1887.  English translation by Jonathan Sturges (1864–1911) published 1890. Guy de Maupassant was a French writer, remembered as a master of the short story.  It has been suggested that the word horla is a blending of the French words hors (outside) and là (there) and the title can be interpreted as the what’s out there. Percussion: Wind wand or bullroarer and two guiros (or similar). Players read from the score. Narrator cues are shown in the score in boxed text and below in square brackets.  Between rehearsal letters [D] and [H] the percussionists maintain tempo; the narrator cues are for guidance only.
