Bach's English Suites for harpsichord make great duets for vibes/marimba, vibes/piano, vibes/bass, or other combinations. The right hand and left hand are often just single lines and sound great when played on pretty much any instrument.
Arrangement is easy - vibes take the treble clef, marimba or piano take the bass clef. Manuscript is attached.
I've seen several fraudulent listings on Ebay for Musser vibraphones. It's easy to spot because the description says to contact the seller directly via Gmail and pay outside of Ebay.
Just thought I'd let anyone know since we are all looking for a great deal.
I did a session the other day where I had to double a very specific part. It seemed like an easy pattern, but it changed in subtle ways over time. I was presented with 2 charts: one was a straight printout of the part - no repeats, lots of funny 16ths notes & rests, 6-pages long. The other, a chord-chart that showed the form (AAB, etc.). Even though the musicians involved were experienced pros, nobody spent much time on the chart. This is a very common situation now, as so much music originates out of computer files.
Hi,
this is a video of a piece i wrote for the emil richards rattle mallet. I needed some repertoire for the duo work with my sister Greta. Its a lot of fun when she starts to comp me on the vibes. Greta is always very nervous, when we play this tune, but i think she did and does it great! (its always a lot of fun for the audience, too) ;)
Let me know what you think about this tune.
greetings, Hauke
Hi,
this are 3 links to the 3 movements of my CONCERTO No.3 for VIBRAPHONE & ORCHESTRA:
• 1st movement: Allegro vivace
• 2nd movement: Tango habanera
Don't be surprised if the written vibraphone part is in some places different from what you hear! As indicated it is improvised here and there.
Hi Everyone,
Hello everybody ! Once again one of the joyful moments for me during the Paris workshop that I'd like to share with you. Thanks to the great David Friedman !!
