A challenging arrangement of the old traditional tune, including a section which shows off the performer's improvisatory skills, this one is sure to be a favorite with performers and audience alike. (Piper's concert performances of "Amazing Grace" have unfailingly brought down the house!)

NEW from Marimba Productions!

Baroque in Swing is another of the popular "Seven Songs for Vibraphone" performed and recorded by John Mark Piper. With its bouncy intro and rapid patters of rapid 16ths, this piece is a challenge and an opportunity for serious vibraphonists to display their skills. It's also a real audience-pleaser! May be performed as a solo or with rhythm section.

One of three movements from Vibraphone Suite No. 1. The opening and ending of the piece allow the perform to play very freely. The main body of the work has a swing feel. May be performed as a solo or as part of the suite.

Delightfully unpretentious. A must play!

Conflicting Goodbyes, as the title suggests, has a lyrical, introspective melody, requiring the soloist to play expressively and with attention to tonal and dynamic nuances. A lovely piece!

One of three movements from Vibraphone Suite No. 1. Impromptu in style. Can be performed as a solo or as part of the suite.

A slower, more introspective composition than 'Spring Valley Kids', 'Just a Step Away' offers the performer the opportunity to shape the composition through improvisation.

A study in arpeggiation, Motion not only demands constant tonal beauty, but also encourages the intermediate vibraphonist to develop smooth pedalling skills and subtle dynamic control.

In this composition, Ure treats the vibraphone as a classical instrument and explores its natural polyphonic ability.
