| Gotta Rumble - Chick Corea, adaptation: Paul Bissell Marimba and Tape |
| -Paul Bissell, marimba on sound file |
Gotta Rumble is your chance to step to the front of the stage, put your foot up on the monitor, throw back your hair and wail! Comprised of two classic Chick Corea compositions (Rumble and Got a Match?) this adaptation goes to 11 and is a showcase for two mallets - not to mention an absolute BLAST to play! All the notes are completely written out (the score is 12 pages long, 274 measures) with the chord changes given for those who would like to improvise during the open sections. The compact disc includes the entire piece at three different speeds as well as looped sections to help with improvisation (if desired). Grab the audience by their whammy bar! 5 minutes Price: $15.00 Add to Cart |

| Le Tombeau De Couperin (Prelude) - Maurice Ravel Solo Marimba |
| - Janis Potter, marimba on sound file |
| Janis
Potter
has created a fantastic and fluid transcription of the classic Ravel piano
piece. This transcription is very faithful in spirit and soul to the original
and is a perfect vehicle for musical exploration. A must play for all
advanced marimbists! "The
Ravel is both lyrical and sprightly at the same time...allowing the player
to use a light and airy touch while performing intricate technical nuances.
The color palette from which to choose is endless. It is both challenging,
and oh so beautiful...a wonderful complement to any serious marimbists
repertoire." -

excellent composition that will find its way onto many diverse programs.

recommended for collegiate recitals. |
