Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) is widely regarded as one of the greatest composers of the Baroque era of Western classical music. His music, full of rich harmonic language and melodic genius, has endured the course of time and has been transcribed and arranged for all types of instruments and instrumental combinations. His music translates well on the marimba and is frequently used for recital and audition repertoire. The music in this collection includes many of Bach's best-known works transcribed for the marimba and carefully selected for the developing mallet player. This collection can also serve as a useful resource for the advanced player looking for sight-reading material or repertoire to perform at special events, ceremonies, or receptions.

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. From Partita No. 3 Corrente from Partita No. 1 Bourrѐe from Partita No. 3 Bourrѐe from Partita No. 1 Gavotte en Rondeau from Partita No. 3 Corrente from Partita No. 2 Largo from Sonata No. 3 Double #2 from Partita No. 1 Double #4 from Partita No. 1 Sarabanda from Partita No. 2 Double #3 from Partita No. 1 Fuga from Sonata No. 1 Andante from Sonata No. 2 Cantabile from Sonata No. 1 Siciliano from Sonata No. 1 Ciaccona from Partita No. 2 Learn more about this new resource from the authors in this short video below:  .
