Daniel Berg has a great passion for teaching and a dream that more children and young people will find the melodic percussion instruments. In Mallet Ensembles the level is a little more difficult compared to his earlier booklets for Youth - Easy Solos, Easy Duets and Easy Marching Percussion. The hope with these scores is to awaken a curiosity and a bridge to the classical repertoire for mallet instruments, but also an encouragement to play music with each other!

These three songs are orchestrated for a couple of mallet instruments – to get a rich and ”fat sound”, please double each part on both marimba and vibraphone in several octaves.

Mallet Ensembles Vol. 2 - 15 Min.; 3 Titel für Mallet-Quartett: Don't stop the groove!, Tellus, Ride the Wind; mittelschwer;
Glockenspiel, 2 Vibraphone, 1 Marimbas, Percussion/Drum Set, Bass

As many kids, I started to play drums and later in the teens I got in contact with the melodic percussion… and I was stucked!  With the songs in Mallet Ensembles I have an attempt to  awaken a young drummers curiosity for marimba and  vibrphone. Therefore I use repeated technical patterns in the  chord parts, quite easy to learn, but a little bit tricky and fun  for a drummer to play. 

These three songs are orchestrated for a couple of mallet  instruments – to get a rich and ”fat sound”, please double each  part on both marimba and vibraphone in several octaves.  The glockenspiel part is grade as easy, melody part is a little bit  harder and chord parts intermediate.
