Ensemble Cop Drama Composed by Jim Casella
Instrumentation: Glockenspiel, chimes, xylophone, 2 vibraphones (with motor), 4 low-F marimbas (adaptable for 2), bell tree, 2 octave crotales (adaptable for 1), 2 sizzle cymbals, woodblock, 3 suspended cymbals, vibra slap, temple blocks, Chinese opera gong, triangle, ribbon crasher, large Zil Bell, 2 concert toms, egg shaker, wood guiro, metal guiro, bongos, congas, djembe, tam tam, concert snare drum, cabasa, 2 cowbells, 2 splash cymbals, flexatone, claves, high vibratone, synth keyboard with funky Rhodes and Hammond B3 sounds, electric guitar (w/ wah pedal, wammy, volume and distortion pedals), bass guitar, 5-pc drumset.
Cop Drama is a homage to the groovy, retro sounds of classic American TV cop shows such as "S.W.A.T," "The Mod Squad," and "The Streets of San Francisco." With a large ensemble of colorful sounds and stylized interpretation, Cop Drama is an enjoyable piece for medium to advanced percussion ensembles.
A genre piece through and through, the rhythm section of guitar, keyboard, bass guitar, and drumset is the stylistic glue that keeps the mood intact. Combining the sounds of funky 70's cop rock, mysterious noir jazz, and modern themes in multiple meters, Cop Drama will provide some fun and entertainment during percussion ensemble concerts or indoor concert competitions.
This piece comes with a full, bound score and includes an MP3 recording and all individual parts available for printing on the included CD-Rom.
Ensemble Big Country Composed by Béla Fleck Arranged by Olin Johannessen
Instrumentation: Marimba 1 (low F or low A), marimba 2 (low E) , 2 vibraphones, xylophone, glockenspiel, shaker, 3 different-sized triangles, small drum set (snare, kick, hi hat, 2 or 3 cymbals), bass guitar, 5-octave marimba (optional), soprano sax (optional)
Big Country is a catchy and inspired composition by world renowned banjo picker and jazz musician Béla Fleck from the album Left of Cool by Béla Fleck and the Flecktones. Its simple melody encapsulates the folksy sound of Americana, and Olin Johannessen's arrangement wonderfully captures this through his scoring for percussion ensemble.
Featuring 4-mallet independent techniques for marimbas and xylophone, Fleck's original banjo part transfers well to percussion ensemble. This arrangement also features a small rhythm section (drum set and bass guitar) to drive the two-step feel and includes optional parts for soprano sax (inspired by the original) as well as a couple optional basic marimba parts (in addition to main marimbas) for larger ensembles. Also, the xylophone and glockenspiel parts are written so that one player can cover both parts which may be useful for smaller groups.
This is a very accessible piece, but it does require a good level of technical proficiency from marimba and xylophone players. It can be something of a 4-mallet workout and requires a relaxed and smooth approach to the instrument. As Johannessen states in the performance notes, "This piece is about making people feel good." Big Country is sure to be a welcome addition to your next percussion ensemble concert.
This piece comes with a full, bound score and includes all individual parts available for printing on the included CD-Rom.

Ensemble Have You Heard Composed by Pat Metheny Arranged by Olin Johannessen
Instrumentation: glockenspiel, two sets of basket shakers, two vibraphones, three triangles, marimba (4-oct), 4.5 or 5 oct. marimba (low F or low C), guiro, bass guitar, mark tree, bongos, congas, drum set.
Have You Heard is a popular piece by the musical legend, Pat Metheny. In this arrangement Olin Johannessen basically creates a "mallet band" to recapture the exuberance of the original. Mallet players are accompanied by a rhythm section of bass guitar, drum set, and auxiliary percussion.
This is an upbeat and crowd-pleasing piece which allows for an extended solo section in the middle. It would be a great closer for any percussion ensemble concert, or a great way to highlight your percussion group during jazz ensemble concerts.
Ensemble Children's Medley Composed by Bach / ElmenreichArranged by Brian Slawson
Children's Medley is one of several masterworks arranged for percussion ensemble by Brian Slawson on the Grammy-nominated CD "Bach on Wood." This medley is comprised of three sections: The first two sections, Mussette in D and Minuet in G, are both from J.S. Bach's Notebook for Anna Magdalena (1725), a collection of pieces compiled by Bach for his second wife. Spinning Song (the third section of this medley) was composed in the mid-1800s by German composer Albert Elmenreich. Its familiar charm has been enjoyed by generations of piano hobbyists both young and old.
Arranged for percussion sextet, each section presents a unique and distinctive sound. Much of its character is driven by the colorful orchestration and the variety of multi-percussion setups requiring some nimble instrument and/or implement switches. In the hands of a well-trained ensemble, the charm built into Children's Medley will jump off the stage and into the laps of enthusiastic listeners!
This piece comes with a full, bound score and includes a CD-Rom containing an audio recording and all individual parts available for printing.
