About this arrangement

Percussion Ensemble - Advanced SKU: TA.TSPCE17-010 For percussion ensemble. Composed by Chad Heiny. Percussion Ensembles. Folio & Parts on CD-ROM. Tapspace Publications #TSPCE17-010. Published by Tapspace Publications (TA.TSPCE17-010). NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART... Chad Heiny's brilliant piece Bad Juju juxtaposes deep African grooves played on traditional instruments and dissonant harmonic material played on three marimbas to create a feeling of uneasy suspense throughout the work. Although not a story per se, the piece conjures images of voodooism, bewitchment, and impending doom--sure to raise a few hackles from the listener. There is also plenty of technical demand to satisfy the appetites of experienced players. Bad Juju was written for, and dedicated to, Omar Carmenates and the Furman University Percussion Ensemble.
