Moonlight for Percussion

This is an arrangement for a percussion ensemble of the third movement of Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. The score calls for 4 percussionists mostly using mallet instruments. (4.3 octave marimba, 5.0 octave marimba, 4.3 octave marimba, vibraphone, gong, wind chimes, glockenspiel and chimes) This is written for a collegiate level ensemble. In a few areas I did put my own spin on the original music.

Hey, this is a cool arrangement here. You certainly are the percussion specialist! Good writing here, I think. Your little spins work really well. I can tell where they are! Great job on that :thumbsup:

I haven't heard this piece a whole lot, but I do enjoy your use of the chimes and gong for those "special" moments there. I think overall this would sound great live, and it's a very good arrangement :)

Thanks for posting!
