Béla Fleck
UFO Tofu
arranged for percussion ensemble by
Tom Gierke

UFO Tofu is a popular Béla Fleck tune adapted for modern percussion ensemble. At the bright tempo of 225 beats per minute, the piece has an upbeat, cut-time feel that weaves in and out of some advanced meter changes. Many of the mallet orchestrations will require a solid grasp of 4-mallet independence concepts.

This arrangement first premiered at the DCI Individual & Ensemble Competition by the Santa Clara Vanguard Percussion Ensemble. The exuberance of the piece naturally gives it audience appeal and would make for a perfect encore piece at the end of a concert.

This piece comes with a full, bound score and includes all individual parts available for printing on the included CD-Rom.

Instrumentation: 2 low A marimbas (adaptable for 3), 1 low E marimba, 2 vibraphones, 1 xylophone, 1 glockenspiel, 5 timpani, 1 drumset w/ optional electronic trigger pads, bongos, djembe, windchimes, triangle, finger cymbal
