Works For Marimba

However these patterns are more melodically developed change frequently and each is usually repeated no more than three times which is typical of Reichâ??s more recent works.This highly exciting piece will provide an enjoyable challenge to accomplished and virtuosic Marimba players.

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.
