A collection of 85 traditional 2-mallet pieces for study, performance or sight-reading. This collection would be viable as either a basic method book or as a supplement to other mallet methods. Requires a 4-octave marimba, most pieces can also be played on xylophone and/or vibraphone. A great collection for recital, jury or contest selections!
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Mark Johnson has compiled and arranged a 136-page text of musical works by such composers as Handel, Haydn, Bach, Kreutzer, Mazas, Mozart, etc. for the marimba. These 2-mallet pieces for marimba range from approximately grades 3 to 5, slightly less difficult than the famous Goldenberg text, Modern School for Xylophone. In the forward, the author states that he considered over 2,000 works before reducing down to 85 pieces for this volume. All of the works selected have a high level of musical interest and sound effective on marimba. All of the pieces can be played on a 4-octave marimba. Since there is a dearth of literature available in this area of study, this book is a very welcome addition. Highly recommended." (Percussive Arts Society, Florida Chapter Newsletter)
