Pines of the Appian Way, Mvmt. IV,  from The Pines of Rome by Ottorino Respighi

Foggy Nights was written to be an upbeat percussion trio for young percussionists.  It gives the performers the ominous feeling of being out late on a super foggy evening and is sure to spark up the imagination in the audience as well.

Foggy Nights - Alejandro Gonzalez

Shostakovich   Festive Overture Op 96 Live @ Nobel Prize Concert 2009

Now the Day Is Over represents the composer's lullaby to his son. Based on a 19th-century English hymn and reminiscent of Renaissance-era melodies, the piece has a simple yet deceptively sophisticated atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

Scored for 9 players (including piano or synth).

Now the Day Is Over (John Willmarth)

A new chapter in the Darklands Saga begins with this aggressive work for young ensembles that includes exciting rhythms, bombastic percussion, optional sound FX, and additional teaching materials, such as full ensemble chromatic exercises and a short story. Careful attention to range and scoring make this an outstanding selection for your developing performers.

Floating Lines (Vibraphone duo) - Kevin Zetina

I teach middle school in Round Rock, TX.  I created the 10 Daily Drills for Percussionist to help band directors get a small break to take attendance and to help students have guided warm up practice at home.  It is my hope that the Daily Drill practice tracks will help students want to get started practicing, then after their awesome warmup want to continue a productive lesson.  

Each track follows a similar guideline.  4 times through each exercise at various increasing tempos, 3 speeds of Open Closed Open patterns, 2 times through sight-reading, and finally full page recap at a stationary tempo.  

Thank you for listening and please follow me on Youtube for the most up to date content.
