for percussion ensemble

James
Ancona's arrangement of Mercury from Holst's masterpiece"The
Planets" re-creates the playful and rhythmic character of the original
orchestration in the percussion ensemble setting.
Originally
performed in 1996 in Star of Indiana's "Brass Theatre,"
"Mercury" is a harmonically complex piece yet very listenable at
the same time. It requires ten players and relies on clever, integrated scoring
to achieve its overall sound. Fun for performers, and accessible to audiences.
