Description
Your percussion ensemble and audience will appreciate this extremely catchy and unique musical homage to big-city nightlife. Elements of jazz, pop, and rock are woven throughout the piece, with solo and soli sections featuring the mallets. Your more advanced percussionists will be challenged on the mallet parts, while easier auxiliary parts will give your newer players a chance to be a part of the ensemble as well. NOTE: All grace notes in the mallet parts should be played slightly before the beat, taking no time away from the actual note following the grace note.
