Mallet Ensembles
This page features my many playable mallet ensembles in MIDI form. As such they won't sound quite as nice as other pieces on this site, because they are meant to sound awesome on actual percussion instruments. They are sorted with arrangements first, originals last.
An arrangement of Max 300 for a septet of percussionists on all sorts of instruments. Not the sanest idea, but it should be playable!
An arrangement of This Is Halloween (from The Nightmare Before Christmas) for a percussion sextet, consisting of a marimba, xylophone, vibraphone, piano, chimes/bells/tambourine, and tympani/cymbal/temple blocks
An arrangement of the opening theme for Super Mario World, written for 8 players on a large variety of instruments.
A Squaresoft medley written for 4 players, on Glockenspiel, Xylophone, Marimba, and Vibraphone
Note: FFO is my only current ensemble performed in front of an audience. The piece was played twice in concert for Jefferson High School in Bloomington, MN. Both performances were very well recieved.
A Kirby arrangement written for 4 players, on Glockenspiel, Xylophone, Marimba, and Vibraphone
A Mega Man medley written for 6 players, on Vibraphone, Xylophone, Marimba, and three auxiliary percussion lines. The third switches to Glockenspiel partway through. Kudos if you understand the title...
Mozart's 40th, written for 4 players, on Glockenspiel, Xylophone, Marimba, and Vibraphone
An arrangement of Super Mario RPG's Midas River theme for 4 players on many, many instruments.

A quintet for Glockenpiel, Xylophone, Marimba, Vibraphone, and Drum Set
An originally named quartet for Glockenspiel, Marimba, Vibraphone, and Chimes
A trio for Xylophone and high and low Marimba.
A trio for Xylophone and high and low Marimba... okay, so it's the same as Carnival, only in a minor key. But it sounds so cool that way!
A quartet for Glockenspiel, Xylophone, Marimba, and Vibraphone
