Escape to Freedom

"This percussion ensemble for nine players is scored for a trio of mallet instruments (glockenspiel, xylophone, chimes), snare and bass drums, three toms, tambourine, suspended cymbals, and two timpani, and has attributes that make it ideal for the high school level, including performance demands appropriate to that age group. An unusual feature in the score is the chime part, which is given a prominent melodic role throughout and requires the use of two mallets. Set as a stately march with a dramatic drum beat accompaniment provided by membranophonic percussion." -John R. Raush Percussive Notes October 2003
