Just wondering, Did you guys publish this yet? If so, where would it be possible to obtain the arrangement?

[torqpercussion]

@Marimbasrcool email daniel.morphy@gmail.com for details of the published copy

What would one have to do to get the score to this piece? This is amazing, and I would love to be able to do it on our percussion studios recital!

[torqpercussion]

It is lifted from the original score

[TheFoxSorcerer]

I watched your other two videos, and I was about to go to bed. I decided to click on this one, and I was really REALLY glad I did. I adore Whitacre's work, and hearing it on marimba is absolutely amazing. I have two questions, though. What mallets are you using, and is it possible to obtain (possibly purchase) the arrangement?

[torqpercussion]

The mallets are Innovative Percussion, James Ancona series. 2001, 2002, 2003's. We are currently in the process of getting the publishing rights. We will let everyone know asap.

Thank you, and everyone for such great feedback!

[theSAXman76]

so turn your volume up - the piece is called Sleep what do you expect? They performed it brilliantly

[torqpercussion]

I think the range makes it possible, although there are some mallet lines that would need to be brought out with one mallet that could be problematic. As well the roll speed would be completely different and therefore the sustain effect would change

[mrmcthode]

Random but important question... how many marimbas do you guys have access to?

[BlueMewSings3]

Wow. This is really interesting. Cool. Quite lovely. Ain't You Tube grand! Thanks for this unusual post. Really captures the subtleties and beauty of the original piece.

I'm glad the hand position matters more than the beauty of the sound, really

[Iyzh Try]

BWAH I officially give up on the mallet world no one knows technique any more!!!

[elephantegrande]

DUDE'S. GET SOME FREAKING ADAM'S MARIMBA'S! frikin marimbaone and malletech are no match. They make their bars too narrow. trust me, I build marimbas.

[SingInTune]
