Duo for Piano and Marimba

It is rare that the instrumental combination of two-mallet marimba and piano sounds like a serious piece of chamber music, but this new work by Rick Orpen belies the stereotype. This work is also substantial in length, filling almost ten minutes with interesting and challenging music.

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
