In Mainstream
Mallets, Jason
Hammond-Wood has compiled
over 20 short, 2-mallet
solos with optional piano
accompaniment to
challenge more
experienced middle school
students while offering
high school
percussionists more
performance
opportunities.
All selections are
familiar tunes, including
classical favorites such
as The Nutcracker,
Sleeping Beauty, Anitra's
Dance (from Peer Gynt),
and The Barber of
Seville. Also included
are nonclassical melodies
like The Stars and
Stripes Forever, The
Entertainer, and On
Wisconsin (the
university's fight
song).
All
pieces are playable on
xylophone, vibraphone, or
marimba, and two of the
solos are adapted to be
performed as duets! The
optional piano
accompaniment may be
performed with a pianist,
or by using the provided
audio accompaniment
tracks.
