Mack the Knife (DieMoritat von Mackie Messer) is a ballad from the 1928 Threepenny Opera (Die Dreigroschenoper) - a "play with music" by BertoltBrecht and music by Kurt Weill.

Super Mario Bros was a super popular Nintendo game, but I think the song was even more so. Back in the 80's, game music was written to attract attention to the game itself, rather than enhance the player's experience during the game. It was more or less, just a catchy tune. However, when Koji Kondo wrote the music to Super Mario Bros, he created it as an active part of the game. This idea would help change game music forever.

I feel as if I don't need to give any comments on how to play this piece, but I will say that in the interest of not inundating the sheet music with dots everywhere, this song should be played staccato throughout the piece unless otherwise noted.

This piece has a lot of syncopation, but it is repetitive, so musicians with intermediate skills should be able to play this piece.

Scored for Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, French Horn, and Bassoon.

Duration: 2.5 minutes
