Percussion sheet music by Thom Hasenpflug professionally presented and published under the “Hasenworks” label (for lack of a better name…)  If you’re looking for something else (such as Bicksa), I will list those here as well with links to their respective publishers.
 
The "Hasenworks" pieces can be ordered directly, but I also equally recommend purchasing them through one of our preferred retailers listed at the bottom of this page.  I do accept paypal. Otherwise, I can accept check or purchase orders, or can bill you or your institution.

Concerto for Percussion and Symphony Orchestra

Four Mischiefs​ was commissioned and premiered by the Idaho State Civic Symphony in 2016.
This 4 movement work focuses on marimba, vibraphone, and a drum / toms station over its course. It's about 22 minutes long. Please contact me directly for more information.

Percussion Ensembles

Smoke and Mirrors (percussion quartet)    30.00
Composed for Nebojsa Zivkovic and the Vienna Conservatory - This is a sort of "companion piece" to Bicksa. About 9.5 minutes. Includes keyboard percussion, Suitable for University level players.
​Now Published by TAPSPACE !


Corps – tet (4 snare drums)     17.00
This piece takes the rudimental scene and adapts it to the concert style. It is short, fun, and playable by any 4 snare drummers with moderate technical ability, and thus can have a home on the high school, college, or even professional ensemble concert. This piece was recently performed by Arizona State at the 2006 PASIC Lit session.
Flatiron Wolf (5 players: 4 percussionists and featured marimba soloist)  30.00
Written for and premiered by my good friend Tom Burritt in 1994, this dynamic 5-player work presents a high energy slap in the face within a small- to medium-set-up. Though the score asks for two electronic trigger pads to be played by the marimbist, acoustic instruments (i.e., a ribbon-crasher and a low drum) may substitute. This one is a crowd pleaser! Check out the definitive recording on the Hasenproject Compercussions CD.

Keyboard

All Times Identical to Recent Years (professional / advanced — 5 octave required) 22.00
A 2006 Tom Burritt commission, this is one tough nut! One of the works I am proudest of musically, this 3 movement work is played as one piece of music through three “times”: the time of oceans, the time of machine, and the time of love and war. It was premiered in 2006 at the LHS summer marimba institute, and was featured in showcase concert at the 2006 PASIC in Austin, TX.

Diptych: Siesta y Vagancia (Keyboard duet: M / V)  17.00
This intermediate / advanced duo is recorded on the Hasenproject CD, and is presented in a two movement slow-fast form.  Influenced by a form explored in the music of Gordon Stout, this “two sided painting” is suitable for upperclass, graduate and professional performances.

Not for Rebecca (solo vibraphone)   6.50
OK regarding this title: It’s not about anybody you know! But the solo is one which combines jazz and contemporary influences over its 4 minute duration. Suitable for college senior and graduate-level recitals.

And since I have your attention might I also mention my brother Andrew’s piece for solo marimba called:
 
7/5     10.00
I describe it as “when the upper and lower register duke it out in a crazy polyrhythmic way” –  It requires one to play the polyrhythm, 7:5 , but that’s actually not as hard as one might think. This piece is truly unique, and I have fallen in love with it over the years and have added it to my staple repertoire. Check it out on the Hasenproject CD!
