A charming, lively solo, ‘Spring Valley Kids’ may be performed either by vibraphone alone or with optional rhythm section accompaniment (lead sheet included). ‘Spring Valley Kids’ and ‘Just a Step Away’ were the first two of John Mark Piper’s ‘Seven Songs for Vibraphone’ to be published by Studio 4. Piper, developer of the Musser/Piper Vibraphone, is a busy performer and clinician, as well as a composer.
Where Do Dreams Go?
$8.00More 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.
