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 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.881252 Composed by Gary Powell Nash. African,Contemporary,World. Score and parts. 122 pages. Gary Powell Nash #3553601. Published by Gary Powell Nash (A0.881252). Han River Fantasy Suite is based on and inspired by Nash’s first trip to Vietnam in 2007.   Commissioned by a percussion and horn duo, it is a five movement chamber concerto with mvts 1 and 2 performed continuously, as are mvts 4 and 5, giving the aural perception of 3 movements.  Mvt. 1, Dawning and mvt. 2, Morning Power Walks stem from Nash’s morning routine during that particular journey as he walked along the Han River in Danang, Vietnam every morning.  Mvt 1 is a slow and lyrical prelude, with vibraphone and chimes serving as melodic and colorful supporting lines for the horn solo and that immediately proceeds to Mvt. 2, a fast and somewhat fiery movement, alluding to a fast power walk. Mvt. 3. Moonlight Stroll is slow and lyrical, highlighted by bowed vibes and triangle being struck while placed on a timpani during a glissando in the middle section.  Mvt. 4, Boat Ride is a fast and dance-like, composed in compound duple meter and transitions to mvt. 5, Going Home, in a slightly faster simple quadruple meter.

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!!

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.

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! .

Burlesque is a literary, dramatic, or musical work intended to cause laughter by caricaturing the manner or spirit of seriousness, or by ludicrous treatment of a subject. This is a waltz based around how I view my undergraduate studies and of the money and time I have spent, despite my high academic standing. It ends solemnly, yet also longingly to suggests that I hope college will eventually get harder and I will actually learn what I have set out to... We can all dream can't we.
