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

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).

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: A0.1099614 Composed by Andrew Ardizzoia. Contemporary. Score and parts. 57 pages. Heartland Marimba #703447. Published by Heartland Marimba (A0.1099614). New Resources is an exploration of the compositional techniques commonly found in African drumming.  A simple four-bar pattern is subjected to a number of processes and permutations, creating increasingly complex polyrhythms and a sense of large-scale acceleration. These passages, which are played on wood instruments, are interrupted by shorter sections that involve skin and metal timbres. Composed in 1999, New Resources is one of the few pieces from my undergraduate that still sees the light of day.  In 2004, my collaborative partner Lisa Rie used the music to accompany a dance piece entitled Delta Eco, which celebrates the rich flora and fauna of California’s San Joaquin River Delta. New Resources has had performances throughout California and Arizona, and in 2005 it was played by William Moersch and the University of Illinois Percussion Ensemble. ~A.A.
