Morgan-Basic Lit (SP)-P

Basic Lit is an easy-difficulty percussion ensemble piece for beginning percussionists. Focusing on the technique of the most common percussion instruments, this four-part, non-melodic ensemble takes young players on a rhythmic journey that requires no more than eighth note subdivisions. Students will enjoy unison playing with some solo features peppered throughout the piece. An optional accompanimental snare drum part expands the quartet to 5 players.
