Ney Rosauro Marimba Concerto

[JOEdoesThings22]

Orchestra sucked.... YOU ARE AWESOME!

[2kreh]

nice man

[MrGregrr]

Odd choice to use cross grip on marimba instead of the "usual" marimba grip. Also, dropping the two outside mallets might not have been the best choice. When I played this I felt it left much too big of a gap when he had to pick them back up.

Otherwise very nice phrasing and intensity.

[and yes, that orchestra is kinda terrible.]

[gbfreak87]

@MrGregrr I'm learning this piece right now, and despite the fact that I play Stevens grip, I'm highly considering learning extended cross grip for the concerto only. I feel that it lends itself nicely to the more complex rhythmic aspects of the piece. Look at the beginning part for the left hand of this movement :)

[MrGregrr]

@gbfreak87 actually, since my last comment I heard/saw Evelyn Glennie play this and she used cross grip. However, she's a beast no matter what she plays, but it did lend itself to a more rhythmic intensity, which was cool.

[cajunstix]

when im a senior (in 2 years) my phill is going to play THIS one. and I (or atleast i better) will play the marimba. im SO excited!

[shawemorrison]

Incrívelmente MARAVILHOSO e uma delícia de ouvir .. :)

[zuzrwolrd]

filippo lattanzi plays this waaayy better than this guy

[fainshmekers]

Quite bad orchestra, they play really anti-rhytmic, maybe conductor is bad, I cannot see conductor in most terrible bars. :)

[drumnrun4luv]

Nicely done!

[ruben15993]

sois unos cara polla

[barrocas]

i love the song, and the performer are amaizing...

i had play it and u smash me

[tnifty]

The orchestra rushed!!! Great Marimba though, BRAVO!

[gulliversslave]

I love this piece.

[lildrummergirl97]

You do really well in the main theme, with the left handed eighths and right hand melody, but the cadenza is really rushed... and the part with the alternating stickings around 3:20 is not right... not the right notes or patterns...

BTW fenglu this piece is Concerto for Marimba and String Orchestra, Mvmt 4. By Ney Rosauro. It's great.

[fenglu900531]

what is this piece called?

[EstefanDedalus]

Concerto for Marimba & Orchestra by Ney Rosauro

III Mov. Farewell

[ravenclawsalem]

I like this piece. Our percussion ensemble played it for a winter concert last year

[DaLu105]

what is this piece called? i actually enjoyed it. I want to play it!

[josslain57]

piece of crap!

[josslain57]

with the right notes and character, and of course a n orchestra who plays in rythm will be good.Piece of crap!

[phishphan12345]

What is this rosauro piece called?

[joerules03]

argh I can't believe an orchestra actually played this piece of crap. The soloist played great but by god- what an awful piece of music! Random Chords and arpeggios- very inspirational! And who cares about the grip? I find people only talk about grip when they have absolutely no clue how to talk about the music.

[aleticiafb]

I think you should have more respect with the music. You should post a video ou show your compositions first than say awful things.

If you don't like the music, just respect the composer and musicians who plays this.

I really would like to see you playing something.

[BosPercussion]

I happen to enjoy this marimba piece, although yes the orchestra part isn't overly exciting. But then again, neither is some of the classical repertoire for orchestra and soloist of any instrument.

HOW COME NO ORCHESTRA CAN PLAY 6/8 INTO 3/4 WITHOUT RUSHING??? THIS IS BASIC SUBDIVISION

[TheDigitalMonk]

I think you need to give the piece a little more credit. The orchestra didn't really give it the right character...

[stickfiguremovies]

Glennie uses traditional, not burton...

Actually, by utilizing the arm in certain motions similar to the moeller stroke you can pull out a nice, deep sound with richer overtones. Abe's style of composition/playing really calls for it, which is why you see you playing the way she does

[MusikistMarimbist]

I play my grip; Stevens plays his grip; and Keiko plays with hers. As long as you're musical, grip does not matter. And you can still get a good sound without choking it using any of the grips. And yes, we can all improve and play more musically, but we all pretty much already know that. Stop throwing fits about the different grips used guys.

[buxysgirl]

Bogdan Bacanu is the best marimba player ever. period

[greekmelodygr]

Does anyone have the notes for this song?I would really appreciate anyone who helps me.

[wolfdemon656]

aww, i really really want that score >.>

does anyone have a copy of it?

i would really appreciate it, if someone gave me a copy :D

[JDTL007]

He's good, but he surely was a drummer before going on marimba, he doesn't play with his wrists but with his arms. That choke the sound and it does a big difference. And I completely agree with Bruno

[nsudrumr]

not to insult your knowledge, but have you ever played traditional grip on marimba? it's not as wrist-friendly as stevens. textbook traditional grip in my opinion is shown by keiko abe, and if you saw her at pasic last year like i did, she wasnt exactly using only wrist...and as far as the choked sound, you cant contribute grip as being the only factor in a choked sound. the instrument has alot to do with it too. companies make the same instrument, but we all know each is different.

[melvintentwofive]

about the grip, i use stephen's on the marimba, traditional on the vibes, and soon to be learning burton for the vibes for the drum corp i'm gonna be playing in...i'm pretty comfy with the two i use now (one can always develop better technique though!) and i think for each individual player, to each his own. you can make good music on a mallet instrument no matter what kind of grip you use.

[Brunostdrummer]

I think your a very good player!!!! But doing a piece of music isn't just about playing the piece. You have to make music out of it. Work a little more with the music not the piece, and then you will be a much better player. If that's possible!

[percphs]

Depends on the player, I suppose. I'm much heavier on Stephen's than anything. Rosauro, when I saw him, used Burton's for this Concerto, and also for his Serenata... if I remember correctly. I'm pretty sure.

To the player... a lot of wrong notes. Omg. Slow that mess down.

[Shedit23]

Solid performance... BTW Abe, Glennie and Stevens are arguably the most successful marimbists. 3 players, 3 careers, 3 different grips... the grip doesn't mean squat.

[axel210]

Nice playing... and personally I think the best grip to use depends on the person. Lol @ the string players pizz's at the start

[BosPercussion]

True to form... string players can't count.

[theblastbeater]

Stevens grip is better on marimba than burton...he should use more wrist and less arm..the sound will be better! lot of notes wrong

[percphs]

You there.

[p3rcuss1on1st]

try not to sacrifice accuracy for speed

[KROGERSGROUP]

wow this was really nice...i went to highschool and played in drumcorps with this guy...he always practiced his music...good job gerard

[iluvperkushun]

that was a famous quote by John Cage, by the way.

[iluvperkushun]

i have nothing to say, and I'm saying it

[VicP000]

How's this piece called?

[percphs]

Ney Rosauro's Marimba Concerto #1 for Marimba and Orchestra, movement #4 "Despedida". Yeah...

[Hol4Depp]

I use Burtons. Its easiest i think.

[Martinuzje]

looks like he's playing burton (cross)

[gcorneli24]

no its not burton's, its the traditional cross grip, where the inner mallets are on top as opposed to the outer crossing as in burton's

[gwho]

WHATS HTIS SONG CALLED? i JUST watched my school play it yesterday

[iluvperkushun]

it's not a song, songs have words. This doesn't have words. It's a marimba concerto by Ney Rosauro from Univ. Miami.

[gwho]

ooo ic. thx for the info about that

[TsugaruMJS]

Nice job... nice piece. My favorite piece of music ever... I's say watch the note accuracies though. There were some crucial missed notes... and IN Rosauro, it's pretty noticable.

[globrazilcom]

A native of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Ney Rosauro has developed a successful international career as a percussionist, composer and pedagogue.

He is considered the most popular composer of percussion concerti, which average 150 performances each year by distinguished orchestras and wind ensembles worldwide. His numerous compositions and method books have become standard in the percussion repertoire, and his CDs have been hailed by critics, percussionists and general music-lovers alike.

[awm079]

Does anyone know where I can get more video recordings of this Marimba Concerto?

[catlapercu]

Hello !

I'm trying to upload the entire concerto... I've already uploaded the 1rst and 3rd mvts It is a version with 6 percussionnists..., I hope I can do it...

[CClarino]

I will be posting a video of the 4th movement soon with Concert Band accompaniment.

[Sk8rboy9782]

Hey i know this piece...i preformed it my freshmen year in highschool. And i still have it memorized...What type of mallets, and what grip are you using??

[chickenwiretire]

Is this you?

I bought this piece after I graduated from college, and haven't been able to learn it since I don't have access to an instrument. its one of my favorites.

If this is you playing, what mallets are you using?

They sound hard, but work with this piece.

[soccer1chic]

that is the first movement...

[chickenwiretire]

nope, its the fourth, you probibly heard the little recap from the first in there.

[dmjust]

whats the name of this piece?

[Gordanius]

[kokopeli27]

That's fucking badass!

[fusioncorenj]

[dmjust]

WOOAHH! AMAZING...ive just started with four mallets =p

[skidrum11]

do you play stevens or cross?

[iluvperkushun]

dude, look at his hands, it's obvious he's using some form of the cross grip.

[aesthetic1950]

Do you have more pieces to post? If so please do.

[francogenio]

[vandertop2]

Pretty good. What college is this?
