Custom and Original Music for Sale
Working with the University of Minnesota Marching Band and many High Schools around the Midwest has given me diverse experience writing Marching and Concert Percussion Music. I have original music for sale at my store and I also compose custom pieces upon request.
Please contact me if you would like to comission custom music, or visit my store to buy my original percussion arrangements.
Original compositions are available at my store. Some audio samples are for example only and not available for sale.
All of the percussion music on the music sampler is arranged or composed by Kelley Lima. Any other arrangement credits in song titles will denote wind arrangers.
"Kelley's musical arrangements always catch the full element of color and timbre; the melodies come to life with all of the rhythmic and harmonic support."Eric Bitterman

"I have had the great pleasure of working with Kelley Lima since my arrival at the University of Minnesota in 2000. Not only is Kelley a brilliant instructor, he has also proven to be a drumline arranger of the highest caliber. The musicality is incredible and really adds to the level of our ensemble. He has proven he can write high quality shows across a wide variety of levels as well, much needed here in the Big 10 where we can have 3 weeks to teach one show and 3 days to teach the next. No matter the situation, Kelley provides high quality arrangements for every show. I would highly recommend his work for any ensemble!"Dr. Tim Diem
