Fiddle Tunes for Marimba is a collection of old-time American, Scottish, Irish, and English fiddle tunes transcribed for two-mallet marimba or xylophone with four-mallet marimba accompaniment. The fiddle tunes included in the collection were selected to introduce percussionists and mallet players to the rich traditions of American and European folk-dance music. The challenging two-mallet tune melodies work well as technical studies that are fun to play. The following fiddle tunes are included in this volume: Arkansas Traveler Billy in the Lowground Blackberry Blossom Bonaparte Crossing the Rocky Mountains Chicken Reel Devil’s Dream East Tennessee Blues Garry Owen Hills of Glenorchy Irish Washerwoman June Apple Liberty Maggie Brown’s Favorite Mary Walker Red Haired Boy Sailor’s Hornpipe Salt Creek Sligo Maid Soldier’s Joy Stronsay Waltz Swallow Tail Jig Whiskey before Breakfast.

This volume is intended as a folio of arrangements from the repertoire of a working musician. As such, there is only a minimum of discussion about the technical aspects of playing. Students who have already dealt with the American style called fingerpicking or fingerstyle guitar, which is quite distinct from other kinds of guitar playing, will be at an advantage. The easiest arrangements here are early intermediate level, while the other end of the scale includes pieces that may challenge even a professional. Tunes within each section are presented generally in order of difficulty. The bulk of the tunes presented are fiddle tunes, with a couple of banjo tunes and several songs as well as tunes originally played on other instruments such as harp, pipes, or accordion. There are even a small number composed for the guitar. For the most part, differences in approach among the tunes here are unrelated to the instrumental sources. All the tunes are presented in notation and tablature. Includes access to online audio.
