Marimba Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1310693 Composed by Michael M. Chang. 21st Century,Contemporary. Individual part. 10 pages. Michael M. Chang #899669. Published by Michael M. Chang (A0.1310693). Crossing the River is written for an intermediate to advanced player using four mallets on a 4.3 marimba with optional 5-octave notes indicated in parentheses ( ). The song's meaning can be found in our everyday lives - how things can become mundane and sometimes events beyond our control can overwhelm us. During those times, our thoughts may drift back to our youth and to the simple things that brought us joy. Remembering these may bring a moment of contentment, but making those moments a part of our lives again can lead to a lifetime of happiness.The music begins in the key of E Major, with playful, lyrical phrases before modulating to a section in F# Major, which consists of a light, airy right-hand melody accompanied by a syncopated left-hand ostinato. The flow pauses for a moment of introspection, before a similar syncopated section returns, but this time in the key of A# minor. This builds to a beautiful chorale section as the river is crossed, before closing with a variation on the opening theme in C# Major. Singable and pleasing to the ear, the piece's melodies may help improve dexterity, particularly in the player's right hand.

Marimba Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1017231 Composed by Jessica Williams. Contemporary. Individual part. 5 pages. Jessica Williams #6082449. Published by Jessica Williams (A0.1017231). Forsaken is a 5-octave, unaccompanied marimba solo. The piece draws its inspiration from the biblical verse, Psalms 22:1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? and the same verse quoted by Jesus while he was on the cross in both Matthew and Mark-Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?. This is one of the last seven sayings of Christ before his death on the cross. Some will interpret this saying as words of Abandonment of the Son by the Father. God has left his son to die in pain at the hands of humanity as a sacrifice for their sins.

Marimba Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.977026 Composed by Paul SanGregory. Contemporary. Individual part. 9 pages. Distant Engraver Music #3534565. Published by Distant Engraver Music (A0.977026). This piece was composed for percussionist Kevin Romanski, who also provided advice on some technical matters. The title refers to its initial inspiration: the contemplation of different color combinations of the notes in a C13 chord. In terms of character, it begins with a slow meditative repetition of two melodic ideas. One is played as single-handed rolls by the right-hand while the other is a slowly developing melody played by the left-hand. Because the phrases of these two ideas do not align, their interaction creates a kaleidoscopic shifting of harmonic colors. A faster middle section continues developing both the harmonic and rhythmic interaction between the two hands, but in a more active and syncopated way. After a series of dramatic outbursts, the original meditative quality returns and the piece ends quietly with a return of material from the first section.

Titration is the slow addition of one solution of a known concentration (called a titrant) to a known volume of another solution of unknown concentration, until the reaction reaches neutralization, which is often indicated by a color change. This process is often tedious, and this Marimba solo is a musical expression of this, while also experimenting with different dynamics in the left and right hands.
