In this three-movement duet for flute and marimba, the two instruments weave a tapestry of many textures. The marimba part does not require any involved techniques and can be performed on a 4.6 marimba.

The other set-up uses toms, bongos, timbales, kickdrum. cow bells, wood blocks, opera gongs and shaker (among other things). Traditional drum set ideas are presented from a different point of view.

Old Man Jazz was composed (both music and lyrics) by Gene Quaw, and published in 1920 by Jos. W. Stern & Co. The original sheet music has the subtitle “An Eccentric Fox Trot Song.” The All Star Trio (George Hamilton Green, xylophone, F. Wheeler Wadsworth, tenor saxophone, and Victor Arden, piano) recorded a very clever version of the piece for Victor Records (#18699) in 1920. This transcription arrangement is based on the All Star Trio recording, with reference to the original sheet music.

A traditional Japanese lullaby, arranged for alto saxophone (who also plays tam -tam), marimba (4 mallets) and percussion (crotales or glockenspiel, wood block, and triangle). ‘Ora No Omboko’s’ delicate textures and haunting melodic material make a lovely change of pace for any performance situation. The piece also provides excellent small ensemble experience for the intermediate marimbist and percussionist.

Outgoing (original version 2011) is scored for piano, marimba (5.0), timpani and two percussionists, and is approximately 9’30” in length. In instrumentation only, I had in mind the Sonata for Two Pianists and Two Percussionists by Bartok. The marimba part is the second piano part. There is a highly chromatic timpani part as in the Sonata. The percussion parts are really in effect a drum set part split into two parts, one playing the drums and one playing cymbals, thus completing the similarity in instrumentation to the Bartok Sonata. This is a broad and expansive work, encompassing a number of different styles of music and expressive capabilities of the exciting chamber group.

Overkill is scored for four players, each utilizing multiple drums around a centered cymbal set-up. Classic rock fans will recognize the main rhythmic theme, which is played over and over, hence the title of the piece.

Commissioned by the Escape X Percussion Duo, Locke’s programmatic duet for marimba and vibraphone takes the listener on an idyllic (and sometimes crazy) drive along one of New Jersey’s most famous highways.

An exciting piece for four players, each playing a drum, wood sounds and cymbal. (None of the required set-ups are large.) The improvised sections, each one emphasizing a different element (timbre, dynamic, rhythm, etc.), give the players opportunities to be creative within a controlled context.
