Restless

$10.00 – $11.00
By

A great introduction to many of the modern marimba techniques such as double lateral strokes. A short, sweet, and high quality “groove” piece influenced by minimalism.

Impromptu

$14.00 – $17.00
By

Rich O’Meara’s new piece for marimba consists almost exclusively of double lateral and single alternating strokes, has many tempo fluctuations and is improvisatory in nature. However, it looks a little more difficult and is a little longer than the typical O’Meara solo marimba piece you may be used to.

Tune for Mary O.

$10.00 – $11.00
By

An unusually lyrical work with a minimalistic influence. Based on Irish folk themes, “Tune for Mary O.” is a fine recital work that uses a blend of lateral sticking techniques to create melodic and accompanimental patterns.

looking at ‘r’

$25.00
By

A second-place winner in the 1999 PAS composition contest for keyboard duet. Looking at “r” is a terrifically fun and accessible marimba duo. Once you hear it you will want to play it! Medium difficulty but sounds hard.

Puzzle Piece

$25.00
By

Each individual part is of moderate difficulty but the parts fit together without too much difficulty into a much more complex and interesting completed puzzle – just as the title suggests.

Island Spinning

$33.00 – $39.00

“Island Spinning” was inspired by a cue from “Seashell and the Clergyman”, an avant-garde French film from the 1920’s – one of many silent film scores Rich O’Meara and Carlos Garza worked on together as Silent Orchestra.

Twilight

In Twilight, Brostrom focuses on basic ideas of chords and color transformation. An example of this occurs in the opening phrase as chords are passed off from duo to duo. “Twilight” is defined as “the light from the sky between full night and sunrise or between sunset and full night” or simply as “an intermediate state that is not clearly defined.” (Intermediate to Advanced)Duration 6:00.
