Chad Heiny’s Panthera Pardus is a musical ode to the leopard, an animal with many moods and characteristics. Similarly, Chad has filled this piece with a wide variety of colors, textures, and themes to underscore the majesty of this amazing animal. This piece also includes extra optional percussion parts for those pesky, bored percussionists in the back of the room! Panthera Pardus was written for the Belle Vernon Middle School Percussion Ensemble and director Mark Surovchak. This piece comes as a professionally printed and bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or for tablet viewing.
