Chamber/Ensemble

Different But One Body

$38.00

For vibraphone solo and three percussionists, this
piece, through its four movements, serves to both
fulfill the expectation of dynamic yet transparent
writing and set new ones with its textural and
compositional methods. The energy in this music
allows it to fit into many concert and recital
settings while the unique instrumentation serves as a
palette cleanser next to many solo keyboard settings.

Erlkonig (Schubert/arr. Michael Baker)

$9.00

Erlkonig is perhaps the best known of Franz Schubert’s songs. Inspired by a guitar version of the piano accompaniment, Baker has arranged it to be played on a 4.6 marimba. The sound of the marimba is perfect for this dark, haunting composition. For low voice and marimba.

Etude in Ab Major for Two Marimbas (C.O. Musser/arr. Yurika Kimura)

$18.00

Clair Omar Musser wrote numerous etudes as many marimbists know. It is assumed that each numbered opus consisted of 20 pieces, but there is no surviving evidence of them now. The version of Opus 6, Number 2 published in 1948 had some issues with the chords, as well as with expression markings like accents, staccatos, dynamics, etc. I made some corrections and consistencies in this new edition, but I tried to keep Musser’s notation intact as much as possible. Examining several of the original manuscripts helped clarify his personal approach to notation. – Yurika Kimura
