This on gave me a bit of trouble because MuseScore 3 kept crashing on me, but this is my first attempt at doing any song from the Donkey Kong Country franchise. I opted to do "Mining Melancholy" from Donkey Kong Country 2, and based it again on my percussion habits. Although the MIDI sounds this program uses ensure it may not exactly sound like it would sound like in reality, I'm still glad I did it the way I did it. Why do I say that? For the first time ever, I used an anvil as an instrument, although MIDI doesn't necessary make it actually sound like an anvil.

To play this arrangement, you need the following instruments:

Piano
Electric piano
Electric guitar
Acoustic guitar
Electric bass
Glockenspiel
Crotales
Xylophone
Tubular bells
4 vibraphones
6 marimbas (2 grand staff, 2 treble clef, 2 bass clef)
Timpani
Drum set
Auxiliary percussion (timbales, congas, cowbell, anvil, tambourine)
Concert bass drum
Battery percussion
