| Challenge 1 - Check out this fine collection of pieces by master teacher, Earl Hatch. This collection of 2, 3, and 4-mallet solos includes Furioso and Valse in D Minor, Capriccio Marimba, Dance of the Hippolollipops, Etude 1955, and Habanera. |
|
Sedimental Structures - A profound and beautiful major work for 5 octave marimba that really utilizes the instrument’s full range. When you hear a profound and beautiful work like Stout’s Sedimental Structures, it makes you wish more players would explore Stout’s output other than the Mexican Dances. |
|
Northern Lights’ beautiful tonalities and challenging techniques make it a must in every advanced marimbist’s repertoire list. It is on almost everyone’s list of the top ten greatest works for solo marimba. |

|
| Six Suites for Marimba - Two books in one binding, 106 pages. This edition of J. S. Bach’s Six Suites for Violoncello is transcribed for marimba by Leigh Howard
Stevens with an introduction and musical text edited by Swiss Bach scholar, Dominik Sackmann. This impeccable urtext transcription
eliminates all the scordatura and clef complications of the cello editions and settles all questions about which of the five original source copies to follow. |
|
Permutations for the Advanced Marimbist - This method book is designed to give the marimbist a stronger and more fluid facility behind the keyboard through a process known as "downbeat displacement."
This system will help the player literally understand a certain technique inside and out. In all there are a total of 129,600 different
permutations possible with the through study and application of this
method book. |
|
24 Etudes for Marimba - This outstanding etude book, written by a member of Moscow’s Bolshoi
Theater Orchestra, emphasizes the equalization of the two hands via
musically interesting compositions. The book’s level of difficulty
bridges that awkward gap between intermediate 2-mallet studies and
advanced etudes and solos. |
