Written on a flight while traveling to Asia, Miceli wanted to compose a difficult yet lyrical piece for solo vibraphone. The resulting “Water Marks” is so named because it is reminiscent of drops of rain splashing as they fall into a puddle.

Watermelon Whispers was composed in 1918 by George Hamilton Green, and was published the same year as a piano solo by the Ted Browne Music Company.This transcription arrangement is based on the piano sheet music, and on Green’s xylophone performance on the Edison cylinder.

This is an exciting composition for vibraphone- one that would make an excellent choice for a senior recital. The piece may be played in its entirety, but the composer also gives recommended combinations of movements to be played if the performer chooses.

This 5.0-octave marimba solo, while not full of Stout’s customary intricacies and technical challenges, is intensely poetic and passionate – a performance challenge in and of itself. The nature of the piece is that of a lullaby. With a quarter-note pulse that is woven throughout, the music has a lilting and rocking quality.

More reflective in character than ‘Baroque in Swing’, ‘Dreams’ asks the vibraphonist to shape flowing melodic lines through subtle dynamic variations. Dampening skills are essential! As with all the “Seven Songs,” the vibraphonist is also given the opportunity to improvise. May be performed as a solo or with rhythm section.

The arrangement Bob Becker made for NEXUS which has caught the attention of audiences and percussionists around the world and created a whole new fascination with the xylophone as a solo instrument. The accompaniments require four players performing on a minimum of two marimbas.

White Pines was inspired by the energy, crispness and majesty of these snow-covered trees in the winter months near my home in New York. It is scored for solo marimba with both keyboard and battery percussion.
White Pines is originally the 2nd movement to a larger 3 movement work titled Home and is dedicated to and commissioned by the internationally renowned percussion group Nexus.

“Green’s unique bluesy style is evident in this fun, challenging xylophone solo. The marimba accompaniment is equally challenging (if not more so) and requires a player who is comfortable with large leaps in the bass line while playing busy syncopated patterns in the right hand.”-Percussive Notes

For marimba, clarinet, and string bass – a surprisingly fresh sound combination. This rhythmically and harmonically exciting work provides a fun challenge to all involved.
