Celebration March is delightfully arranged for Mallet Quintet to resemble a piano roll driven music machine.

This piece is the result of a 2020 lockdown commission by Heswall Concert Band, which needed a piece to work on that didn't involve its members playing wind and brass instruments! The instrumentation consists of a Rhythm Core of Hand Brush, Hip Tap, Clap, and Stamp; and 3 Sections: Shoulders, Knees, and Bellies; and a bass (acoustic or electric). Ideally, the Shoulders, Knees and Bellies sections should each have several members; the Rhythm Core should have 1 or 2 members on each part.

Some light choreography is suggested in the score, but the bandleader may indulge their own creativity in this regard.

Please watch the accompanying video for a demo. You may also contact the composer (https://isabellerydermusic.weebly.com) to request a training video.

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: vibraphone
Perc. 3: Marimba (with low C)
