Biography & Information
Lynn Glassock was born in Dallas, TX and
received his Bachelor’s and Master’s of music
from UNT. He currently serves as the Associate
Professor of Music at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Performance groups include:
-Dallas Symphony
-Fort Worth Symphony
-Fresno Philharmonic (Principal Perc.)
Teamwork - Grade 2

This ensemble features various sections throughout, as well as a heavily featured timpani part (more complex
than most band compositions and other percussion ensembles in this grade.) The melody in keyboards would be
enjoyable for students to play, and also allows for the group to recognize the melodic and harmonic structure,
which aids in developing good ensemble-playing skills (listening to one another). This piece would be suitable
for intermediate/advanced high school percussionists, as it may serve as a stepping stone to other more
advanced ensembles. Each section (between mallets, drums, and timpani) is featured, meaning every part is
important to the overall success of the piece, and may allow for players that are less comfortable on certain
instruments to get accustomed to playing holistically (putting “drumline people” on mallet instruments because
the mallet parts aren’t too advanced.)
No Exit - Grade 1

This piece has various rhythmic elements/features that require lots of focus across the ensemble
(this group in particular showcases this very well). The variety of instrumentation, including the
incorporation of auxiliary and drums in the keyboard parts, allows for players to showcase and
develop multiple different skills (mallet phrasing and accurate/clean rhythmic execution.) This piece
would be suitable for an advanced high school ensemble, with much opportunity to develop
musically through being engaged in the ensemble (as mentioned previously).
Between the Lines - Grade 1

This piece features many various elements such as keyboards, toms, bongos and woodblocks
to create intense moments where the texture is full, and players have complex rhythms that
both serve as layers to the texture and as background to various mallet features. This piece
would be suitable for an advanced high school group or collegiate percussion ensemble. This
piece would encourage the ensemble to listen more closely to their own parts as well as the
parts happening around them, and achieving this would require players that are experienced
on both mallets and auxiliary. A group who performs this piece would develop significantly
through focusing on sensitivity to balance throughout the ensemble and phrasing.
