What exactly are you asking? Many, many composers used these instruments. Particularly wind ensemble or concert band composers, but they are found all over.

It seems you are a percussion lover, like myself. I never write for an orchestra without mallets or percussion.

To answer your questions: I do!!

Oh... those instruments, for the most part, didn't enter the symphony orchestra until the late 19th century. Almost all 20th-century composers used them.

The piano quartet is COMPLETE!!!


Please note that I will not review the following without a very good reason:
1) MP3-only posts: no score + outside link = bad deal. Especially true because I'm on dialup when at home.
2) Shoutbox or PM spam: excessive shameless plugs get very annoying very fast.
3) Pieces written in a short time or with little effort: if it's not worth the composer's time and energy, then it's not worth mine either.

Jennifer Higdon's 'Concerto for Orchestra' gives pride of place to Tubular Bells and a lot of these mallet percusion instruments.

Saint-Saens's 'Carnival Of Aniamls' features the Xylophone in a signature early role.

Erich Korngold's 'Symphony in F Sharp Major' uses a lot of mallet percussion.

Khatchaturian's 'Symhpony No. 2' uses Tubular Bells frequently.

I hope that helps get you started!
