== Description ==
Characteristic Signs of Stress, composed for PASIC 2004, is four minutes of non-stop playing by all players. The motivation behind this piece comes from the sheer stress resulting from the logistics of assembling and preparing for a showcase performance, combined with only five hours of sleep a night, no days off from the rehearsal hall, and no strenuous gym workouts. Not only does this piece sound stressed but as you watch each performer execute their part you should see signs of stress in their movements, both between and around the instruments. This piece is not for the tame at heart!

Santa Claus is coming to town, and he is bringing his own mixtape of holiday bangers! He made his list, checked it twice, and decided his music needed a little spice. With a mashup of cleverly adapted classics such as Joy to the World, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, and Jingle Bells. Santa is riding his sleigh in style with this one. Christmas Quirks is designed to be a fun, upbeat holiday celebration that melds traditional Christmas tunes into a variety of styles, including jazz, rock, classical, hip-hop, and punk rock. The pop chord progressions make this creative holiday remix an exciting way to close out any holiday performance.

== Program Notes ==
A Gossamer is a light, filmy substance, most often composed of cobwebs and spider webs, that is most often seen drifting through clear autumn air. This piece provides a musical interpretation of this image. Themes, melodies, and harmonies weave and invert around each other as if tracing the various paths of a web, while occasional meter changes aid the effect of floating through changing winds. Though the beginning and ending sections are met with a heavier orchestration, much of this piece is light and jubilant, as players weave their individual sounds into a glorious web

Player 12: [[Bass Drum, Wind Gong, Mark Tree, Temple Blocks 

== Program Notes ==
Sonatina is a piece combining classical elements with non-traditional harmony and modes. The three-movement work uses a slow introduction and sonata form for the first movement, a theme and variations for the second, and a scherzo for the closing movement. It uses the lydian-mixolydian mode throughout the work, but the listener can still hear echoes of traditional harmony between each section.

'''Year''': 2001 
'''Publisher''': [[Editions Bim]] 
'''Difficulty''': Advanced 
'''Duration''': 00:07:00 
'''Cost''': $24.99 

== Instrumentation ==
[[Snare Drum]]

== Program Notes ==
KÍM means germ or embryo and the idea is roughly to start on something simple which then gradually grows and takes on a new form, like a plant. The work is a continuation of my exploitation of the possibilities of the snare drum as a solo instrument, using sounds and polyrhythms which I hadn´t in the earlier pieces (PRÍM and KONZERTSTÜCK). The piece has a metric pattern of 3/8, 7/8 & 11/8 which is repeated 32 times. With the aid of brush and a practise pad as well as the instrument itself, one of my aims was to establish rhythms in various timbres which would develop constantly new wievpoints by putting these into permutational combinations. Commissioned and premiered by the Danish master percussionist [[Gert Mortensen]], the piece was premiered in Fredericia, Denmark in January 2002.

'''Difficulty''': (see [[Ratings]] for explanation) 
'''Cost''': Score and Parts - $0.00   |   Score Only - $0.00 

== Instrumentation ==



== Program Notes ==
Percolative Processes was commissioned by the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum as part of their 2006 Sonic Scenery project, in which ten local composers and musical groups were asked to write site-specific pieces for Museum visitors to listen to over head-sets while touring the galleries of the permanent collections. I selected the Hall of Minerals and Gems, a long-time favorite both of mine and my son, Sandy, and created a work for large percussion ensemble, that was then recorded in layers, making it possible for five players to do the work of thirteen.The piece is a reflection on the process of mineral formation, starting with inchoate sounds in cymbals and marimba, rippling murmurs, metallic sounds modulated by dipping instruments in water, then moves to harder-edged mallet percussion, both struck and bowed, and culminates in an angular chorale for vibraphone that crystallizes various motifs that have been heard along the way. At the very end, as the last chord dies away, we hear a small metal hammer chipping at a piece of stone

Sonata for Susan

2026-09-03T06:43:19Z

Admin: Text replacement - "Year of Published" to "Year"

[[Zachary Koors]]
==General Info==
Year: 2021 
Publisher: [[Tapspace Publications]] 
Difficulty: Advanced 
Duration: 00:08:00 
Cost: $17.00 

==Instrumentation==
[[Xylophone]]

==Description==
Sonata for Susan by [[Zachary Koors]] was composed in December of 2015 as a gift for his undergraduate professor, Susan Powell. Since Susan has specialized in [[xylophone]] ragtime throughout her career, [[Zach Koors]] incorporated some ideas from this venerable tradition into the piece. The most notable is the use of the “trick rhythm,” famously developed and utilized by [[George Hamilton Green]]. The “trick rhythm” is a three-note sticking pattern that creates a hemiola effect rhythmically, while also producing a complex-sounding array of melodic motifs with just two mallets. Zach uses this brilliantly throughout his piece and has produced a uniquely endearing and heartfelt piece for an instrument that is frequently used for comedic or colorful effect. Although Sonata for Susan was originally composed for a 4-octave [[xylophone]], if one isn’t available, it can be just as effectively performed on a 4-octave [[marimba]].

[[Marimba]]

== Description ==
In Taking Flight, Kyle H. Peters paints an honest and reflective picture of the little challenges and victories around leaving the nest for the first time.

Written for an advanced player on a five-octave (low C) marimba, the piece takes the listener on a journey—from unexpected trips straight to the ground to finally achieving flight on one’s own. The rubato nature of the work as well as the level of expression required to perform it paves the way for the player to tell his or her own story.

== Program Notes ==
Diga-Diga Doom Doom by Michael Huestis is an easy percussion ensemble work that demonstrates how much musical variety can come from a single rhythmic idea. With variable instrumentation that can accommodate ensembles of different sizes, the piece provides an accessible and rewarding ensemble experience for developing percussionists.

The opening “diga-diga doom doom” motif is first presented in unison before gradually developing through imitation, canon, dynamic contrast, and layered ensemble textures. As the piece unfolds, performers encounter a variety of ensemble roles while remaining grounded in familiar rhythmic material; featured moments for timpani, concert toms, congas, and bongos allow different sections of the ensemble to step into the spotlight. The music steadily builds before returning to the opening motif for a satisfying and exciting conclusion.

== Program Notes ==
Surge (2003) was commissioned by Dr. Blake Wilkins and the Moores School of Music Percussion Ensemble for a premiere performance at the 2003 Percussive Arts Society International Conference. Focused around swelling chords, driving rhythms and a highly syncopated and energetic tune, this work constantly gathers momentum until ending on a rapidly pulsing chord in the upper register of the keyboards.<ref>https://robsmithcomposer.com/percussion/surge/</ref>

=== Review ===
REVIEW: Univ. of Houston Percussion Ensemble CD Surge, ClassicsToday.com, February 2006 
“Surge, the title piece by Rob Smith, is an entertaining pop/minimalist essay…full of fun along the way.”

REVIEW: Univ. of Houston Percussion Ensemble CD Surge, Sequenza21.com, March 2006 
“Surge is a brisk post-minimal work, fueled by a propulsive, syncopated ostinato and adorned with cymbal splashes and pulsating vibraphone and marimba chords. It operates at a fairly relentless pace, but Smith provides abundant variety within this fast tempo spectrum by employing frequent metric shifts; he rachets up the intensity to breakneck speed by the work’s conclusion.”<

Duration: 00:02:20 
Cost: $32.00 

==Instrumentation==
This piece offers flexibility in both instrumentation and number of performers. It is recommended that the piece be performed on found percussion instruments like buckets, pails, trash cans or [[bell plates]]. However, traditional percussion instruments like [[Snare Drum]], [[Tom-tom]]s, [[Woodblock]] or [[Cowbells]] may be used. Whether you are using found or traditional instruments, they should be graduated so that Player 1 was the highest pitched instrument and Player 4 has the lowest pitched instrument.
===Ensemble 1===
Player 1: [[Brake Drum]] 
Player 2: Metal Bucket 
Player 3: Plastic Bucket 
Player 4: Large Trask Can 

===Ensemble 2===
Player 1: [[Tambourine]] 
Player 2: [[Castanets]] 
Player 3: [[Woodblock]] 
Player 4: [[Djembe]] 

===Ensemble 3===
Player 1: [[Hi-hat]] 
Player 2: [[Snare Drum]] 
Player 3: [[Tom-tom]] 
Player 4: [[Bass Drum]] 

==Description==
[[John Herndon]]'s flexible ensemble piece Flotsam & Jetsam was inspired by maritime jargon, referring to items lost or discarded from onboard a ship. As such, it is recommended that the piece be performed on found instruments like brake drums, buckets, pails, trash cans, or anything that can be struck with stick. Alternately, Flotsam & Jetsam can be performed on more traditional percussion instruments like snare drums, toms, woodblocks, or cowbells, so long as the instruments are graduated among the performers. To add to the accessibility, the piece may also be expanded to fit the size of any performing ensemble. This piece is a great vehicle for training basic rhythms and technique in a colorful and entertaining way.

== Program Notes ==
Hot Town in the Old Tune Tonight is a rollicking fantasy variation based on the melodic theme of There'll be a Hot Time in the Old Town To-night composed by Theodore A. Metz (1848-1936).

In an interview for Time Magazine on August 5th, 1935, less than a year before his death, Metz retold the story of the composition’s genesis. “I was with McIntyre and Heath’s Minstrels as the bandmaster in 1886, and we were trouping through Louisiana… On the train, we passed a village called Old Town and there was a cabin burning. Mac turned to me and said: ‘There’ll be a hot time in Old Town tonight.’ It had the ring a good title ought to have and I jotted it down on the top of an envelope upon which I was scribbling the notes of a new march I was composing for our parade in New Orleans. The march became the song.”

There’ll be a Hot Time in the Old Town To-night remains one of the most enduring American Folk Songs, becoming popular after it was used as a theme for Teddy Roosevelt’s Rough Riders in the late 1890s. Since then it has been used as a Fight Song for many colleges and universities, and can be heard in films from Citizen Kane to Batman. It was used to great comedic effect when performed by the Hooterville Volunteer Fire Department Band in episodes of vintage television shows Green Acres and Petticoat Junction (which is probably where I first became aware of it).

The original melody is woven into the fabric of Hot Town in the Old Tune Tonight in many different ways - turned upside down, inside out, and backwards - giving it a slightly not-quite-right-ness that might also explain the title.

Point Lobos Shore Trail

[[Wind Chimes]] (Shell) & [[Wind Chimes]] (Metal) & [[Wind Chimes]] (Wood) & [[Wind Chimes]] (Bells) & [[Wind Chimes]] (Plastic)

== Program Notes ==

=== Review ===
Graphic notation comes in many forms. Some, like Xenakis’ “Psappha,” take a mathematical approach to notate every sound and when they occur. Others, like Earle Brown’s “December 1952,” draw a picture with symbols and leave much of the interpretation to the performer. “Point Lobos Shore Trail” by David Macbride takes the latter approach but sets a guideline that the only instruments permitted be among the most delicate that percussionists encounter: wind chimes.

The notated page is simple in its design. It is a sketch of two oceanic waves and a handful of birds set in front of a sunset, meant to be the Point Lobos Shore Trail in California. This sketch is set on a rectangular grid in which the vertical axis denotes volume and the horizontal represents the time. Macbride gives suggestions as to how to interpret these axes, such as an appropriate performance length and where the threshold of audibility is, but the performer has a lot of freedom outside of these points. The style of chimes used and how each of the different events are treated are left to the discretion of the performer. As such, each performance of this piece will be one-of-a-kind.

Pieces such as this are interesting to approach for a formally trained percussionist. It does not require the standard procedure of rigorous practice; rather, it requires an intimate knowledge of an obscure instrument, and a performance approach more akin to painting. In the hands of a musician who understands this methodology, along with having the necessary maturity and patience to prepare it with such a delicate instrument, Macbride’s composition has the possibility of creating some truly beautiful performances. <ref> Percussive Notes 2021 </ref>

== Description ==
This revolutionary Band method combines time-honored techniques with technology! The colorful, easy-to-follow design makes it simple for students to focus on new concepts, with supplemental exercises offered in the back of the book for enrichment and additional practice. Student success early on is aided by letting students get the “feel” of whole, half, and quarter note rhythms before introducing rhythmic notation. This logical approach allows students to focus on tone production and pitch notation in those important first lessons. The Teacher’s Resource Kit is a companion text that includes lesson plans, tips for effective rehearsal techniques and building musicianship.

Berserker is an aggressive and heavy work written for advanced solo marimba and accompanied by a supporting ensemble of 5 percussionists.

Berserker was commissioned by Mineola High School in Mineola, TX for their showcase performance at the 2020 Texas Music Educators Association National Convention in San Antonio, TX, featuring marimbist Dr. [[Brian Zator]] as the premiere soloist.

Every morning I wake up my kid by singing a song I make up off the top of my head. One morning’s song struck me as the base of a percussion ensemble piece, while feeling particularly hyped singing:

“Baby, baby; it’s time to get up! Baby, baby; it’s Friday, yeah, yeah!”

No need to vocalize these judiciously constructed lyrics while you play. The percussion parts will suffice.

Cave Dance

[[Glenn Kotche]]
==General Info==
Year: 2013 
Publisher: [[Alfred Music Publishing]] 
Series: [[Percussion Performance Series]] 
ISBN: 978-0-7390-9585-0 
Difficulty: Grade 8 
Cost: $4.99 

==Instrumentation==
[[Snare Drum]] 
Foot Pedal Instrument ([[Bass Drum]] / [[Cowbell]] / [[Woodblock]]) 

==Description==
Cave Dance by [[Glenn Kotche]] is a unique and spirited solo for [[snare drum]]. This solo, inspired by flamenco dance performances in Spain, calls on the player to stomp their foot, play on the rim of the drum, and click their sticks in the air all in order to convey the style of these performances. This piece is rather quick, making it a great piece for high-level intermediate players or advanced performers.

==Notes from the Composer==
"Cave Danceis inspired by flamenco dance performers that I experienced in Malaga, Spain. These dramatic, flamboyant, and virtuosic performances take place in the Sacromonte district caves, which have been converted to Romani entertainment venues.
This piece is derived from recordings that I made featuring various combinations of folk dances strung together into a performance(hence, the constantly shifting tempos and feels that occur within this piece). Some of these dances featured female dancers and some male, some were with instrumental accompaniment, and others were backed with just hand claps or [[castanets]].
The foot pedal instrument (bass drum, cowbell, woodblock, or foot stomp) called for in this piece is meant to emulate the frequent and very percussive foot stomps of the dancers, while the rapid stick clicks are meant to evoke those times when the dancers pause awaiting applause from the audience. The parts written to be played on the rim of the snare drum can be substituted for another percussive timbre (closed [[hi-hat]], [[woodblock]], [[bongo]], etc.)."

== Program Notes ==
Prelude to Paradise was written to reflect [[Jacob Remington]]'s personal view of the chaotic events surrounding the end of days as they are depicted in the Book of Revelation. [[Jacob Remington]] has always found the vivid imagery in this story to be quite shocking and powerful, and he has strived to replicate those feelings through the music. Although the piece is not intended to chronicle the story, some important events and details of the book can be heard musically.

The number seven is one of the most significant numbers found in Revelation, and for that reason the piece is primarily metered in seven. There are numerous accounts in the book where “the stars of heaven fall unto the earth,” and this is illustrated by densely harmonized, rapidly descending passages in the [[vibraphone]] and [[xylophone]]. Towards the middle of the piece, the symbolic opening of the seventh seal can be heard, as well as the subsequent “silence in heaven about the space of half an hour,” represented by 30 beats of (near) silence. The second half of the piece depicts Jesus marching onto mount Zion with the 144,000 who were redeemed from the earth, where he leads them into battle with the beast and onto their final judgments.

Sonata for Viola and Percussion (Sculthorpe)

2026-09-03T06:42:58Z

Admin: Text replacement - "Year of Published" to "Year"

[[Peter Sculthorpe]]
== General Info ==
Year: 1960 
Publisher: [[Faber Music]] 
Duration: 00:12:00 

== Instrumentation ==
Player 1: [[Tam Tam]] & [[Suspended Cymbal]] & [[China Cymbal]] & [[Triangle]] & [[Bass Drum]] & [[Snare Drum]] & [[Tom Tom]] & [[Bongos]] 
Player 2: [[Viola]] 

== Program Notes ==
Sonata for Viola and Percussion [1960] By the time he had completed this Sonata for Viola and Percussion, Peter Sculthorpe had been in England for 30 months, studying at Oxford. Having failed to interest a young Australian cellist in the solo sonata that prefigured this work, Sculthorpe set about adapting it for two players who would be colleagues at the Attingham Park Summer School in Shropshire. This was organized by his good friend, the musicologist and writer Wilfrid Mellers, still as active as ever today, at the age of 90. It was Mellers who suggested the combination, perhaps unique in music then and to this day! Sadly, the origins of this most unusual combination are prosaic. For his summer school for young composers, Mellers had hired several first-rank professional players, including a violist and a percussionist. Whereas the violist would be predictably busy, the percussionist would most likely have less to do: could Sculthorpe come up with something to make them equally occupied? At the first performance in July 1960, the violist was Rosemary Green but mid-summer fog delayed the arrival of the professional percussionist from London, so the composer himself played the percussion part, “for the first and last time!” Sculthorpe subsequently dedicated the work to the memory of his good friend Peter Komlos, a violist in the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. In 1960 the Sonata was awarded the Royal Concert Trust Fund Composition Prize. The additional few hundred pounds was greatly appreciated by this struggling musician from Australia, then working as a barman whilst building a career as a modestly successful student composer. And this thirty-year-old was homesick too. In preparation for the work’s Sydney performance in 1962, Sculthorpe confessed to having written the Sonata “with feelings of longing for Australia and also with feelings of apprehension towards Asia”. That was enough for his detractors to label the work ‘The Asian Threat Concerto’, reflecting the paranoia of middle-class Australia in the mid-1960s, trembling at the prospect of South-East Asian countries falling like dominoes before hordes of advancing Chinese. Protesting that he himself has “never had such feelings of apprehension”, Sculthorpe maintained that he recognized no actual Asian influence in this work – that would come in 1968, with Tabuh Tabuhan and Sun Music III – although he conceded the martial motto-figures might appear “somewhat threatening”. Like much of his music, this twelve-minute Sonata is a double-set of variations, somewhat free, its structure foreshadowing that of many later works. A Mahlerian melody is counterposed against a more forceful rhythmic figure. These two ideas alternate with each other, showing no tendency to coalesce. Peaceful co-existence was perhaps the best that could be hoped for at the height of the Cold War. Kelly Trench 25th July 2004

Trout Scherzo (Percussion Ensemble Version)

== General Info ==
Year: 2012 
Publisher: [[Tapspace Publications]] 
Composer: Franz Schubert 
Arranger: [[Stephen Primatic]] 
Difficulty: Intermediate 
Duration: 00:04:45 
Cost: $40.00 

== Instrumentation ==
Player 1: [[Glockenspiel]] 
Player 2: [[Xylophone]]

Player 12: [[Snare Drum]] 
Player 13: [[Bass Drum]] 

== Description ==
Trout Scherzo is an arrangement by Stephen Primatic of the third movement from Schubert’s well-known piano quintet. Lively and joyful, the piece demands great dynamic control from all members of the ensemble. It also features a fast 3/4 tempo which is felt in “one.”

== Reviews ==
Arrangements, adaptations, and transcriptions are a great way to learn about music history. In this lively movement from Franz Schubert’s “Piano Quintet in A Major,” Stephen Primatic’s arrangement allows for two choices in instrumentation. The first option, and my preferred medium, is performing the work as a mallet ensemble. Only requiring two mallets, this is a great opportunity to stress fundamental technique, tone production, and balance for younger students. The second option adds the remaining instruments listed above. My concern with this approach is that the added instruments will hinder the buoyant character of the movement. However, those with larger ensembles will welcome the additional options to keep all students involved. With the simplistic nature of the triangle, tambourine, bass drum, snare drum, and crash cymbal parts, you will need to constantly remind the students about balance and blend to keep them actively engaged.

Appropriate for a young high school ensemble, this work of approximately four minutes 45 seconds gets most of its duration from repeated sections. Consisting largely of quarter notes and longer, this work is in 3/4 and should be felt “in one.” While the keyboard and percussion parts are at an early intermediate level, the timpani part is a different story. Emphasizing mallet figures and supporting the bass line, the timpanist is required to make numerous tuning changes. I appreciate the clear notation, but it will take extra practice to ensure good intonation in this tonal piece. <ref>Darin Olson, Percussive Notes Volume 51, No. 3, May 2013 </ref>

== Description ==
This revolutionary Band method combines time-honored techniques with technology! The colorful, easy-to-follow design makes it simple for students to focus on new concepts, with supplemental exercises offered in the back of the book for enrichment and additional practice. Student success early on is aided by letting students get the “feel” of whole, half, and quarter note rhythms before introducing rhythmic notation. This logical approach allows students to focus on tone production and pitch notation in those important first lessons. The Teacher’s Resource Kit is a companion text that includes lesson plans, tips for effective rehearsal techniques and building musicianship.

The Bells (Wilshere)

'''Duration''': c. 
'''Cost''': £12.00 

== Instrumentation ==
[[Vibraphone]]

== Program Notes ==
Each Monday evening the bells ring from the church tower. They mostly play slowly changing ostinatos, but sometimes the bells all sound together in a clanging chord. This slow and mostly tranquil piece for solo 4 mallet Vibraphone begins with a gradual reveal of an ostinato in B minor, over which a melody then unfolds. At the climax of the piece, a passage in octaves is followed by clanging chords and the slow dismantling of the ostinato until only one note remains. The piece is played without the motor and with the pedal down throughout.

== Description ==
Exposiciones for Sampled Microtonal Schoenhut Toy Piano is an 'acousmatic' work that attempts to explore the equally-tempered sound world within the context of a sampled microtonal Schoenhut model 6625, 25-key toy piano and a complex polyrhythmic scheme. All equal temperaments between 1 and 24 - essentially functioning as tuning modulations - as well as all polyrhythms (divisible only by 1 and including their inversions) between the ranges of 2 and 15 are presented. In other words, polyrhythmic ratios 3:2 (2:3), 5:2 (2:5), 4:3 (3:4), 5:3 (3:5), and so on - 57 polyrhythmic sets in total, with the last set represented by 15:14 (14:15) - alongside two complementary scales (Indonesian Pélog and Sléndro forms with primary and secondary scale tones, as well as primary and secondary auxiliary tones) shaped via microtonal inflections produced by sequential tuning modulations featuring the first 24 equally-tempered divisions of the octave.

== Description ==
Legacy Square by Stephen Primatic is a spirited work for large percussion ensemble in three main sections — a rousing opening, mysterioso middle section, and groove-based third section — ending with a reprise of the opening material. Being largely keyboard driven, the work also incorporates piano and drumset parts to fill out the texture with added flavor and groove. Although no 4-mallet technique is required, the piece will demand great listening and ensemble awareness as the parts alternate between melodic and support roles.

== Program Notes ==
Musica Boema, arranged for percussion ensemble by Jeff Moore, transforms the first movement of by Zdeněk Lukáš’s “Cantabile” into a vivid and challenging concert work. Drawing inspiration from Ralph Hardimon’s legendary 1984 percussion feature for the Santa Clara Vanguard Drum & Bugle Corps, this advanced-level arrangement fuses concert and marching percussion traditions into a mesmerizing, rhythmically intricate texture.

Scored for 14–15 players, the ensemble includes a full complement of mallet keyboards, timpani, and an expanded battery section featuring a Scottish-style snare drum solo. The arrangement highlights layered polyrhythms, shifting phrase lengths, and rich dynamic interplay—qualities that make it both technically demanding and musically rewarding for mature ensembles.
