Firth-Encore in Jazz (SP)-M/V/2T/DS/P






Vic Firth's Encore in Jazz for percussion septet would be a great closing piece for a good high school level percussion ensemble. It features a drum set solo (dance drums) and is a real swinger. The key to this piece is making sure the drums stay down below the mallet instruments, as they tend to overpower the melody lines otherwise.
