Amadeus in the Percussion Box is a Grade 1 composition featuring the percussion section of a band in its first year of instruction. The theme is a simplification of Papageno's famous "Bird Catcher's" aria in Mozart's opera The Magic Flute. Beginning at m. 15, the percussion players begin playing instruments found in most elementary school band percussion boxes. The instruments indicated in the score are merely suggestions and may be varied at the discretion of the director. Depending on the number of percussion players, the director may increase or decrease the number of instruments used in the sections starting at mm. 15 and 39. The music will also provide an opportunity for beginners to learn about first and second endings and how to perform a crescendo.
