About this arrangement

Percussion Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.984036 Composed by Andrew Charles Naylor and Roma Connie Waterman. Arranged by Jilly Cooke. Contemporary. Score and parts. 72 pages. Jilly Paige Cooke #5797561. Published by Jilly Paige Cooke (A0.984036). Paul Williams's beloved tune from the Jim Henson Company's timeless Christmas special Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas is now available as an arrangement for percussion ensemble!Originally performed in December 2019 by the University of Iowa School of Music's percussion studio, under the direction of Dr. Dan Moore, this lively, jazzy arrangement was lovingly crafted by Iowa Percussion's own Jilly Cooke, a music education major who was a junior at the time of this arrangement's premiere. As a lifelong fan of the Muppets (and a promising aspiring puppeteer herself), Cooke cleverly weaves in numerous references to various tunes and styles that have influenced her musical preferences and career (with notes in the score to bring out these musical quotes). Beginning with a faithful adaptation of the original gospel-waltz ballad feel from the TV special, the arrangement swiftly transitions into a toe-tapping, New Orleans-style second-line groove with a solo section and a witty trade-off section in the middle.Instrumentation of 8 players includes: Vibraphone 1 (preferably includes E3), Vibraphone 2, Marimba 1/Accordion (optional use of amplified Melodica), Marimba 2 (preferably includes F2), Bass Marimba (premiere performance used Bass MalletKAT, optional use of Bass Guitar and/or Keyboard Patch), Piano, Drum Set, and Auxiliary Percussion (includes Mark Tree, Suspended Cymbal, Triangle, and important gospel-style Tambourine).
