Stuart P. O'Neil's original percussion ensemble piece Parade of the Penguins is very metered, but don’t let its march-like quality fool you—this is a jovial piece that will have wide appeal. The writing is very well balanced between the melody in the keyboard parts and the contributions from the nonpitched instruments. This creates a more sophisticated piece than is sometimes heard at this level, and offers any number of teachable moments with your ensemble.
