Transport your audience to the dance club with \u003cstrong\u003eLa Vida de la Noche\u003c\/strong\u003e (Nightlife) by Brian Slawson. This spirited, soca-style work for mallet sextet, is also expandable to fifteen players for a full percussion ensemble sound and groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a single quarter note pickup in the mallets, the piece wastes no time launching into the catchy melody. The main melody is a study in sixteenth + dotted eighth rhythms (as well as the reverse), while a secondary melody switches almost entirely to triplet-based rhythms. Interlocking parts throughout the rest of the ensemble keep the more challenging rhythms achievable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsemble flexibility is baked in, as up to six percussion parts can be added to bring the soca groove to life. Crotales, chimes, and\/or timpani can be added as well for extra sparkle and low end. Slawson has brilliantly scored the work in such a way as to convey the underlying groove with or without the optional percussion parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor both setup convenience and some extra visual effect, the two lead marimba players can share a single 4.3-octave (low A) instrument. No four-mallet technique is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece ships as a fully bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for either printing or tablet viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/playlists\/1741341255\u0026amp;color=%23e08319\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=true\u0026amp;show_comments=false\u0026amp;show_user=false\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=false\u0026amp;show_artwork=false\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/tapspace\/docs\/la_vida_de_la_noche-sample?fr=sMzcwNTY0MzMxNjU\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/2973\/7494\/files\/download_score_sample_small_a30c8cef-1a89-4c57-81ae-6d16c471a6e2_480x480.png?v=1676047266\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tapspace Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47708020343127,"sku":"TSPCE23-039","price":54.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/2973\/7494\/files\/tspce23-039.jpg?v=1708089485","url":"https:\/\/concertandmarchingmusic.com\/es\/products\/la-vida-de-la-noche-tapspace","provider":"Concert \u0026 Marching Music ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
