Description
Ready for a night on the town? Transport your audience to the dance club with La Vida de la Noche (Nightlife) by Brian Slawson. This spirited, soca-style work for mallet sextet. With a single quarter note pickup in the mallets, the piece wastes no time launching into the catchy melody. The main melody is a study in sixteenth + dotted eighth rhythms (as well as the reverse), while a secondary melody switches almost entirely to triplet-based rhythms. Interlocking parts throughout the rest of the ensemble keep the more challenging rhythms achievable.
