Classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart faced his share of hardships in the later part of his life, and through these hardships came a number of incredible works, including his 40th Symphony, from which Menuetto derives. This work has now been arranged for mallet septet by Brian Slawson.
The arrangement allows percussionists the opportunity to try their hand at the beautiful melodies of the era that often excluded percussion from their compositions. Perfect for any high school or middle school group, this is a beautiful ensemble that will entertain performers and audiences alike.
