Such a bold, powerful and satisfyingly articulate rendition of Creston's 20th Century classic. The timing is perfect and the marimba coexists seamlessly with the piano accompaniment. Excellent work!
I am working on this as well for a college audition. This is quite fast!!! Very well done :) And your accompanist is fantastic as well. The rolls would be a nice touch - you can play it perfectly, now add some feelings!
I just want to know if you can send me a copy of this midi because i like and i have to play it too, so i want a copy if it possible to you send me a copy.
hey, nice job. I'm working on it now and of course it's hard. But in my part, it didn't have any of the rolls written in either. I guess that's just a musical thing added in later by interpretation. Oh well, nice job though!
OMG i played this freaking piece for my 8th grade solo and ensemble contest and i got first place (go figure) this piece is real jerk good job with it try adding in rolls though.
I Love those last three lines at the end, i would always rush that soooo bad lol
for example these at: 1:24-1:30. and especially these at 2:20....
i know that its not written as a roll but it sounds much better and i think that creston thought to play it as rolls. i got a recording from peter sadlo, one of europs best marimba-player. he plays them as rolls.
i'm also right on working with the first movement. heavy stuff!
im working on this piece also for a competiton, and i have the christopher norton recording of this, and you seem to know all the notes, but u are missing alot of the musical ideas. Such as the rolls (basically all the tied notes), accelerandos, and your mallets or marimba has a very dry dead sound, as opposed to a more ringing med/hard full sound. Good job getting all the notes and stuff down tho.
yeah... i know my marimba has a pretty dry sound, and my bro's piano midi doesn't have tempo changes. but, u work with wat u can get :) and of course, i could never compare to the christopher norton recording, hahaha (i have it too). good luck on your competition!

Good mechanics, but it wasn't musical. It was way to robotic.

why dont you play the long notes as rolls???
for example these at: 1:24-1:30. and especially these at 2:20....

My high school band tackled this one for one of the seniors. It's a rough one. You did a really good job, though.
