For percussion ensemble. Composed by Daniel Montoya Jr. Percussion Ensembles. Folio & Parts on CD-ROM. Tapspace Publications #TSPCE17-014. Published by Tapspace Publications (TA.TSPCE17-014).Daniel Montoya Jr.'s Mayhem is an ode to his newborn baby girl. Composed as an alternative to the common lullaby-style pieces composers often conjure up for their children, this medium work for large percussion ensemble lovingly kicks at you right from the start. It centers around a rhythmical theme based on his daughter's name: Mara, Mara Mayhem.
While remaining accessible to developing performers, Mayhem navigates many different time signatures while retaining a strong sense of groove throughout. A catchy melody and occasional backbeat give the listener a sense of stability in between kicking sessions!
Mayhem was commisioned by Megan Wike & Ridgeview Middle School (Round Rock, TX), in honor of their 2016 performance at The Midwest Band & Orchestra Clinic in Chicago, Illinois.
This piece comes as a professionally printed and bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or for tablet viewing.
