Three serious pieces for the serious vibraphonist. The etudes are tonally complex and technically challenging, as well as musically interesting. Compared to the sheer number of pieces available to the advanced marimbist, the repertoire for advanced vibraphonists is minuscule. These etudes are a step toward evening the score.

Skylark Orange Circles
$33.00 – $39.00Duet 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.
