Percussion Ensemble - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.730494 Composed by James Nathaniel Holland. Contemporary,Musical/Show. Score and parts. 326 pages. James Nathaniel Holland #4800780. Published by James Nathaniel Holland (A0.730494). Advisory: Ballet story contains adult situation and themes. Not suitable for audiences or performers under the age of 18.  INDIVIDUAL INSTRUMENT PARTS 2 (Strings, Harp, Timpani and Percussion). Piano Score, Full Orchestral Score, Individual Parts (Part 1) Sold Separately. American composer, James Nathaniel Holland, brings a ballet adapted from the first century Roman novel by Gaius Petronius (cir. 50 A.D.) to the stage. An entertaining ballet for adults (not suitable for general audiences under the age of 18), celebrating the male ballet dancer's physique and a laugh at our own human sexuality. The comedy is a romp of three gay protagonists and their adventures and misadventure in ancient Rome and their characters; an ex-gladiator, Enclopius, his young lover, Giton, and an upper class snob, Ascyltos. It should also be said that this ballet is not pure gratuitous vulgarity, there is a interweaving story containing a deeper message of real human relationships, the satire of ancient Roman archetypes, and a humorous glimpse into ancient Roman life that still rings true even 2,000 plus years later. Regardless of the subject matter, Holland's original music is fantastic tapestry of counterpoint, set in a sort of atonal-ism and heavy percussion, evoking a period of history no longer available to us. Although not all cues and counterpoint is contained here, this piano score is extremely useful for either a performance with 2 pianos and percussion and a dance company, a director's/choreographer's score, or a concise conductor's score, or rehearsal score. Measure numbers line up with the full score. An orchestral, performance CD is available for those company's on a budget.

Percussion Ensemble - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.891828 Composed by George Frideric Handel, James Chadwick, James Pierpont, and Thomas Oliphant. Arranged by Aaron G. Railey. Christmas. Score and parts. 28 pages. Aaron G. Railey #6607247. Published by Aaron G. Railey (A0.891828). A Caribbean Christmas is a thrilling adventure through the most famous and recognizable Christmas holiday songs of all time. Written in a Caribbean Soca rhythmic style and including three key changes, this is an advanced arrangement that will feature and challenge your best musicians. Each section of the ensemble has the opportunity to perform the melody in this arrangement. Often, students on the accompaniment instruments are stuck playing repeated chords with little to no motion or challenge. I found it important as an educator that each student gets challenged and has the opportunity to feel important to the contribution of the ensemble. Every ensemble that has ever performed this has received a standing ovation. It is thrilling, exciting, challenging, recognizable, and just fun to play. I hope that you enjoy this and it brings holiday spirit to your community! .
