The Marimba Etudes are designed for the intermediate marimbist to work on several aspects of technique which are necessary to develop before proceeding to more advanced work.
This piece was written to exploit the possibilities of a solo side drum set against a small group of other percussion instruments, as well as explore relative (rather than absolute) pitch in addition to rhythm and timbre.

“Donnerkreis” means “thunder circle” in German, a most appropriate title, since the eight timpanists (each playing single timpani) surround the audience. What a finale this would make to a percussion ensemble concert!

A timpani piece with a “difference!” The first two movements exploit traditional timpani techniques in a musical fashion, with the emphasis on sensitive ensemble playing with the pianist. In the third movement, ‘Fandango’, both pianist and timpanist add sections of hand clapping and flamenco-style heel stomping. A real crowd-pleaser!

Duet for two marimbasSkylark Orange Circles is dedicated to the wonderful Japanese marimba virtuoso, Momoko Kamiya. The music is very dance-like in quality, going over and over through mostly the same sequence of harmonies while melodic variations are developed. The melodic ideas become more and more like a bird (or flute) singing as the work progresses.
