Published by Elijah Jones (A0.930451). Meaning - You feel trapped and alone, you realize there is no way to escape and soon you feel you must give up entirely. 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.

Published by Dr Minni Ang (A0.793348). Rhythm of Life is built over a five beat pulse, representing the heartbeat of life on planet earth. The two basic pulses are played by different groups of instruments and passed from one group to another, but never ceasing, even as our heartbeats never cease as long as there is life in us. Over these fundamental patterns are built little phrases or solos for the various instruments, including conversations between pairs of instruments - first the timpani and tubular bells, later the marimba and xylophone, and finally the conga drums and the snare drum – these conversations represent various interactions among different groups of life on planet earth. The piece is constructed in theme and variations form.The OrchestrationPlayer One: MarimbaPlayer Two: XylophonePlayer Three: TimpaniPlayer Four: Tubular BellsPlayer Five: Snare Drum & CymbalsPlayer Six: Congas, Bass Drum & Tam-Tam

Percussion Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.977040 Composed by Paul SanGregory. Contemporary. Score and parts. 18 pages. Distant Engraver Music #3539349. Published by Distant Engraver Music (A0.977040). (For this piece, both score and parts are included in a single PDF file.)This quietly beautiful music began as a simple piano piece in memory of the composer’s late wife. Because her ‘English’ name, Sansan, sounds like the number 33 in Mandarin Chinese, the piece is based on the numbers 3, 33 and various multiples of them. The numbers were used to shape all aspects of the music, but in performance the piece still flows simply and naturally. It is technically not difficult for performers, but they do need good ears for color and balance, and they must work carefully as an ensemble. Instrumentation:Perc. 1: vibraphone and crotales (or glockenspiel)Perc. 2: vibraphonePerc. 3: Marimba (with low C)

Percussion Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.984036 Composed by Andrew Charles Naylor and Roma Connie Waterman. Arranged by Jilly Cooke. Contemporary. Score and parts. 72 pages. Jilly Paige Cooke #5797561. Published by Jilly Paige Cooke (A0.984036). Paul Williams's beloved tune from the Jim Henson Company's timeless Christmas special Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas is now available as an arrangement for percussion ensemble!Originally performed in December 2019 by the University of Iowa School of Music's percussion studio, under the direction of Dr. Dan Moore, this lively, jazzy arrangement was lovingly crafted by Iowa Percussion's own Jilly Cooke, a music education major who was a junior at the time of this arrangement's premiere. As a lifelong fan of the Muppets (and a promising aspiring puppeteer herself), Cooke cleverly weaves in numerous references to various tunes and styles that have influenced her musical preferences and career (with notes in the score to bring out these musical quotes). Beginning with a faithful adaptation of the original gospel-waltz ballad feel from the TV special, the arrangement swiftly transitions into a toe-tapping, New Orleans-style second-line groove with a solo section and a witty trade-off section in the middle.Instrumentation of 8 players includes: Vibraphone 1 (preferably includes E3), Vibraphone 2, Marimba 1/Accordion (optional use of amplified Melodica), Marimba 2 (preferably includes F2), Bass Marimba (premiere performance used Bass MalletKAT, optional use of Bass Guitar and/or Keyboard Patch), Piano, Drum Set, and Auxiliary Percussion (includes Mark Tree, Suspended Cymbal, Triangle, and important gospel-style Tambourine).
