Keiko Abe playing "Prism Rhapsody" for Marimba and Orchestra

[MontyPython93]

She's insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[7h3d4rkw0lf]

I heard this.

I opened a new tab.

5 minutes later, I bought the sheet music.

[USMCdrummer06]

Don't like the mix at all. I wanna hear more of her. The orchestra overpowers her sometimes.

[WrestlingRockerPanda]

This woman gives me chills. I wish to become as good as her, and better.

[Rikileitr]

@WrestlingRockerPanda not gonna happen

[Marimbaplayer75]

She's a monster how's that? lol dang i wish i could play like that

[drumnbass91]

O_0 That was insane. Keiko's my hero ;D

[michael16862]

That's.. amazing!

[19andoverlol]

If anyone has any idea where to purchase the full score for this beyond that of just a rental, please, please let me know. I've done some digging online, and all I've found is rental copies and piano reductions, neither of which I'm looking for.

You'd think enchanting marimba works such as this would be more mainstream and easier to obtain.

[beaverteeth92]

You could always rent it and photocopy it...

[19andoverlol]

Yeah, there's a good idea.

Still, the only place offering it for rent is this really old website. I don't even know if they're still actually a company or if they've gone out of business. I'll figure it all out, eventually.

[lettuceplayon]

Yeah, and get a massive fine for copyright infringement!

[drumnbass91]

@19andoverlol why dont you rent a score and photo copy it? Common sense :P

[asafermusic]

@19andoverlol you can find it at Steve Weiss Music online.

[beaverteeth92]

Are there any available commercial recordings of her playing this in its entirety? I've found a few of her playing the one she wrote for 2 marimbas, but not of this one.

[venuskitty]

wow, I got the shivers on this.  She is something to admire.

[KungFuDrummer2]

She's 72. Whoa.

[Seadogstudio]

I wish I have a grandma that cool.

[rdaniels95]

lol, thats funny watching that old lady go up and down the marimba like that...bad ass

[GregMarimba]

Wow - thanks for posting. Is the whole piece (video) available? It'd be great to see. Greg

[drummerboy1138]

This is really exquisite.

[xtaniiiiix]

DUDE!!!! that was intense.

[MADmusicluver]

What type of xylophone is ahe playing?

[Twoblasted]

It's called a marimba....

[beaverteeth92]

It's a marimba, and it's a Yamaha YM-6000.
