More Details
In writing and arranging this music I have aimed to build onto the wonderful work of Jon Madin and his Marimba publications. The music within this publication ranges from simple to the more complex and challenging. However the ensemble playing required and the musicality that results is not diminished. A variety of parts and suggested teaching strategies provide immediacy and accessibility to any mainstream mixed ability group.
While this music can be played on Orff instruments alone, the addition and integration of the marimba within the ensemble adds a lower sonority which has great appeal to all students. You will note that some pieces have been arranged for a melodic instrument, particularly the recorder, however other instruments such as flute or violin can easily be added. Likewise, the doubling of any part with bass guitar, guitar, strings or whatever is at hand can also be used to augment the marimba parts. I hope you and your students enjoy playing these pieces.
