Description

The Pat Metheny Suite arranged by Andrew Beall found its beginnings in 2003 with an arrangement based on The Heat of the Day, which the Carolina Crown Percussion Ensemble performed and went on to win the D.C.I. percussion ensemble competition. It then seemed natural to expand the idea of Metheny for percussion ensemble, so Beall picked two of his favorite Metheny tunes, First Circle and Letter from Home, and created a 3-movement suite for an ensemble of 10 percussionists. First Circle and Letter from Home are more traditionally arranged, whereas The Heat of the Day features several original passages in addition to his arrangement of Metheny's piece.

Great Difficult Chart

Great chart with great writing, but it is very hard. Instead of a bass part, there are 2 timpani parts which makes it a little tough to play (who has 2 sets of timp sitting around?), but otherwise I like everything about it. Would be cool to have an optional bass part if you don't have 2 timpani, but it's in the original key, so you could probably write your own bass part pretty easily or maybe grab a part from the big band arrangements that are out there. Comes with 3 tunes, First Circle, Letter from Home and The Heat Of The Day.
