Winner of what may have been the earliest marimba composition contest ever held, the Sarmientos was premiered by Vida Chenoweth in 1957. A three-movement work of great vitality with Guatemalan-influenced rhythms and melodies, it is performable by any good collegiate marimbist.

Incoming is a virtuosic composition for the two players, using the drumkit as a multiple percussion instrument. The drummer has the opportunity to improvise in different sections of the work, and requires the ability to solo in different and changing meters.

Nine Lives is a snare drum solo in the rudimental style based on a Turkish Romany “gypsy” rhythm called the Roman Havas?. The original rhythm is usually played on the darbuka/doumbek to accompany dancers.

Elements of African, Latin, Gamelan, and Jazz Fusion. Can be performed as an unaccompanied solo or with any number of doublings in unison or at the octaves. Great for marimbistic get-togethers when several players know the work.
