Where Do Dreams Go?

$8.00

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.

Stigmata

$8.00

Another of John Mark Piper’s popular ‘Seven Songs for Vibraphone’, as performed by Piper in live performances and on CD.

Spot

$8.00

A bright 3/4 tune in C, easier to play than most of Piper’s Seven Songs. Spot would make an excellent jury piece for the developing vibraphonist.

Just A Step Away

$8.00

A slower, more introspective composition than ‘Spring Valley Kids’, ‘Just a Step Away’ offers the performer the opportunity to shape the composition through improvisation.

Conflicting Goodbyes

$8.00

Conflicting Goodbyes, as the title suggests, has a lyrical, introspective melody, requiring the soloist to play expressively and with attention to tonal and dynamic nuances. A lovely piece!
