Rich O'Meara's new piece for marimba consists almost exclusively of double lateral and single alternating strokes, has many tempo fluctuations and is improvisatory in nature. However, it looks a little more difficult and is a little longer than the typical O'Meara solo marimba piece you may be used to.

-- Julia Gaines, Percussive Notes

A great introduction to many of the modern marimba techniques such as double lateral strokes. A short, sweet, and high quality "groove" piece influenced by minimalism.

Each individual part is of moderate difficulty but the parts fit together without too much difficulty into a much more complex and interesting completed puzzle - just as the title suggests.

NEW from Marimba Productions!

An unusually lyrical work with a minimalistic influence. Based on Irish folk themes, "Tune for Mary 0." is a fine recital work that uses a blend of lateral sticking techniques to create melodic and accompanimental patterns.

A second-place winner in the 1999 PAS composition contest for keyboard duet. Looking at "r" is a terrifically fun and accessible marimba duo. Once you hear it you will want to play it! Medium difficulty but sounds hard.
