Kihle-Mind's Key, The: An Agent Nia Story-P

The Mind's Key is for multiple percussion and is approximately 6 minutes long. The title ties in to the antagonist, Dr. Mind. The hero is Agent Nia, a secret agent with brains and brawn. It is essentially an action movie, complete with opening and closing credits. Throughout, there are quotes from different sources, including popular music, an orchestral work that contains a famous cymbal excerpt, and many from my favorite movies. The plot is written above each line and is how the story is communicated to the audience. A great piece for the intermediate high school or college percussionist.
