Music for Marimba

Beaming Music was expertly composed in 2002 by Nico Muhly for Marimba and Organ.Beaming Music is at its heart about small rhythmic cells transforming themselves into large open chords. While this is most evident in the section immediately following the Marimba solo 2/3 of the way through the idea of something small blossoming into a huge chord pervades the piece.

The hymns in Church Hymns For Marimba are drawn from traditional European melodies American tunes and African-American Spirituals. They represent some of the most recognised tunes in Western music.Many of these hymns have been played during important events in history from funerals of American presidents to royal weddings and coronations. Some have even become the subject of legend: Nearer My God to Thee was allegedly the last hymn that the band played on the RMS Titanic before it sank.The four-mallet arrangements are all playable on a 4 and 13 octave low A Marimba. The hymn tunes and two-mallet arrangements can be played on Marimba Vibraphone or a standard set of orchestra bells.

Contemporary marimba virtuoso William Moersch has consistently commissioned the best musicians possible to create works for his instrument. In 1984 Bennett wrote his first work for Moersch After Syrinx II based on Debussyâ??s Syrinx for Flute solo and written. Then in 1988 Richard Rodney Bennett agreed to create an â??Americanâ?? concerto and so composed this concerto in two movements I con moto and II con brio that display the versatility of the instrument. Both movements feature blazing cadenzas by the marimba but it is in the cadenza in the second movement that the marimba essentially becomes the entire Orchestra in the Orchestraâ??s dominant 6/8 time signature andleads the piece on to a brilliant ending. Composer performer and arranger Richard Rodney Bennett was internationally respected for his serious music and many award-winning film scores (Murder on the Orient Express Nicholas and Alexandra) as well as his works for children and his religious pieces. In addition this markedly versatile musician frequently performed as a jazz pianist. On his move to the United States the two sponsors for his green card (work permit) were Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim.

Par BALAZS ARPAD. Árpád Balázs (*1937) composed the first version of Rhapsody for Hungarian cimbalom and concert band in 2001; in 2021, on the encouragement by a Japanese marimba player he arranged the solo part for marimba, and therefore the opportunities for the work to be played have significantly widened. The Rhapsody follows the one-movement structure created by Franz Liszt. The beginning solo section of the cimbalom (or marimba) returns before the coda as a pillar of the form. The composition, which can be divided into five sections, develops and works with a Lydian tetrachordal motif (G-A-B-C sharp) in different characters, stretching the span of music from a simple, children's song-like appearance to an obstinate ritual dance. In conclusion, the Rhapsody is a passionately emotional lyric orchestral poem rich in colours and characters, which has a place on the repertoire of every concert band playing quality music. / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Concert Band et Marimba

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN /CIRONE ANTHONY J. Although many of the greatest composers from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods did not write for marimba, their works are still available and are perfectly suited for this instrument. Many of these works were written for violin and contain bowings and fingerings that assist in the stylistic interpretation for violin but do not apply to marimba. To that end, Tammy Chen has arranged a collection of outstanding pieces that work perfectly for marimba. To aid the performer in developing a musical interpretation of these master works, she added stylistic markings including phrasing, articulations and musical directives. Below are the compositions included from the Violin Sonatas and Partitas by one of the world’s greatest composers, Johann Sebastian Bach. Giga from Partita No. 3 Double #1 from Partita No. 1 Giga from Partita No. 2 Presto from Sonata No. 1 Allegro from Sonata No. 2 Allemanda from Partita No. 2 Preludio from Partita No. 3 Allegro Assai from Sonata No. 3 Menuetto I. from Partita No. 3 Menuetto II.
