Forum Topic: Philip Glass Violin Concerto Arranged for Vibraphone and Marimba

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3cdUwQAWlg&feature=youtu.be

Concerto for Violin and Orchestra was written in 1987, marking Philip Glass's first work for orchestra. With the exception of a concerto for two timpanists, Glass has not written for solo percussion. Glass, being one of my favourite composers, I have selected this concerto to adapt for marimba and vibraphone.

Forum Topic: Mbira Song

Hi all,

I have been working on a 4 mallet marimba solo called Mbira song. I have been enjoying learning this wonderful piece. However, i was wondering if anyone here has either played the piece or has any tips on it. Its a great marimba solo and i reccomend it to anyone looking for a nice marimba solo.

Thanks,
Drslg

Forum Topic: "After a dance or two..." Paxton Gehling Trio/ Senior Recital

This is a trio of mine, recorded on my senior recital this april. We're playing my trio arrangement of a really hip John Hollenbeck tune called "After a dance or two we sit down for a pint with Gil and Tim".

Enjoy,
Paxton

Forum Topic: The Hours - Philip Glass

This is my arrangement of The Hours by Philip Glass for 2 marimbas.

This is a live recording from my friends Scott's Graduation Recital at the University of Lethbridge. I'm the guy in the black.

Hope you like, this piece is really great. The challenge was trying to sound like one person blending and lining up all the polyrhythms.

Forum Topic: Cuban Vibraphone / Guitar piece I wrote. "Told You"

I have a duet. Vibraphone / hand drums(zarb,tabla,riq,pandeiro,kanjira,frame drums etc.) and guitar (classical, oud and a few other guitars)

We are starting to build up a repetoire.

We play some flamenco, some tangos, some jazz lot's of different stuff.

I love Cuban piano so much, but I love the vibraphone. So this song is my influence of cuban music specially cuban piano.

Hope you enjoy.

There is spost to be lots of percussive guitar stuff added and several fills, but I didn't notate them.
