Sample Mp3

This ethereal but energetic quartet is a musical portrait inspired by stars and lights seen in the darkness of night.  With a variety of moods, techniques, and ideas, it makes an excellent contest piece, as your performers will be able to show off their complete repertoire of musical skills.  Moreover, it is a fun-to-play and exciting to hear work for any percussion ensemble with some talented keyboard percussionists and a pianist.  Some of the orchestrational, rhythmic, and harmonic features may be reminiscent of front ensemble or pit arranging in modern drum corps, but in a concrete concert setting.

This chart is complete with an mp3 example recording for you to reference with.
