Castle Valse Classique, Xylo & Mar. Quartet (A. Dvorak/arr. Yurika Kimura)

$24.00
By

The name Castle Valse Classique refers to the dance team of Vernon and Irene Castle, who were exceedingly popular performers and teachers of all the ballroom dance styles in vogue in the United States during the 1910s and 20s. The Castles’ “hesitation waltz” treatment of Dvorak’s Humoresque became one of their signature numbers, and Green’s spectacular obbligato xylophone performance made the music persuasive enough to stand alone on records.

Children’s Corner (Debussy/arr. Leigh Howard Stevens)

$17.00 – $20.00
By

Although the marimba’s tone is colorful and evocative, there has been a long standing lack of serious transcriptions of impressionistic music. This faithful transcription will fill that niche and surely become a standard repertoire item.

Concerto for Marimba and Orchestra

Available For Rental Only
By

Winner of what may have been the earliest marimba composition contest ever held, the Sarmientos was premiered by Vida Chenoweth in 1957. A three-movement work of great vitality with Guatemalan-influenced rhythms and melodies, it is performable by any good collegiate marimbist.

Sammut’s blend of style, clear melodic ideas and improvisational elements will appear to the differing musical tastes of most audience members. As with Sammut’s other works, it is only a matter of time before this becomes a favorite on college campuses.- Darin Olson, Percussive Notes

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

$18.00
By

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
