This is the second collaboration between Dr. Timothy Mahr, a member of the music faculty at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, and Jenna Mahr, his daughter. "Uncle Lumpy's Garage" is a fantasy piece that is lots of fun to perform. It allows the percussion section to explore new sound sources in addition to traditional ones, and it features rhythmically punctuated materials from the winds to help reproduce the sound of a garage. This is definitely a challenge, but worth every minute spent!
