This unique five-movement duet for snare drum and marimba embraces the timbral contrasts between both instruments, while also experimenting with the colors created while they are played simultaneously. A very musically demanding work!

Duet for Vibraphone and Marimba.

Incoming is a virtuosic composition for the two players, using the drumkit as a multiple percussion instrument. The drummer has the opportunity to improvise in different sections of the work, and requires the ability to solo in different and changing meters.

Written for Leigh Howard Stevens and She-e Wu, this jazzy piece requires two advanced players and two 5.0 octave instruments. A “must play” if you have a friend ready and willing to take on the challenge with you.

This piece attempts to create a kind of wavering sustain by tasking each marimba with a similar-but-different part in the same register. That sound inspired the name of the work. The title is also meant to hint at the two most important musical forces in the piece: meters and mediants.

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.

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.

A 1989 publication, ‘Petite Suite’ is a duet for early intermediate snare drummers. But it’s not just a “straight” snare drum piece. In it, Kettle introduces developing players to the use of different areas of the drum, a variety of different strokes and the notation used to indicate these variations. This is not only an excellent pedagogical tool, but also a charming piece!

The Rivers Music School in Boston commissioned this piece for the 22nd Annual Seminar on Contemporary Music for the Young. It was composed with an advanced young player in mind, but is musically sophisticated enough to be performed by college level players also.
