Children's Games

This is an arrangement for marimba band of Laurent
Buczek's Children's Games. It is a modulation
exercise using seventh chords. The melody is catchy and the
students really enjoyed it. Thank you Laurent.

The Fairy Festival

2023-02-25

This is an arrangement for marimba band of "The Fairy
Festival." The original piece is for piano and works
well with call and response. We also added some color with
wind chimes and an ocean drum. Thank you BoRa Sar for your
kind permission to use the piece.

Variations on “Stride la Vampa”

2023-02-25

This piece for 2 tubas is based on Azucena’s alto aria
from Giuseppe Verdi’s opera “Il Trovatore.” I always
liked the theme since we studied it in music literature
class in 1990.

Special thanks to Dave Kirk for editing and reading through
the music with his students.

"Hot Cross Buns" Variations

2023-02-25

Variations on the traditional English street cry, "Hot
Cross Buns." Enjoy the music and be creative with your
form. On this recording, we return to the theme after each
variation. It creates a type of rondo form.

The Break-Up

2023-02-25

This is an arrangement of "The Break-Up” by
free-scores composer Laurent Buczek. The piece was
originally written for piano. Thank you Laurent, for the
permission to arrange and encouragement along the way. />
