  • 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!

see all

  • No roles? What is this?!?

  • I am in need of a piano accompamnist for this piece, my daughter needs to play this but we cant find a pianist that can help us right now, any ideas

  • 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.

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

  • 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!

  • Also check out Vida Chenoweth recording

  • 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
