Hi there,
I know this is off the subject of marimba, but I am sure that there are some profficient vibe players here as well. Anyways, I am not very familiar with how writing for vibes is like. I was wondering if you have any tips. There is the deadline for the PAS composition competition, and I thought I woul dgive it a try. I wrote out some ideas for a great vibe piece, and I thought that if I clean it up and finish a few of the thoughts here and there, it might be worth sending to them. Anyways, what would be the most common range for the vibes? I am assuming 3 1/2 octave, C on top and F on bottom? And do people usually write with two staves or just one? I know I will have to split it up on parts of the piece that I am writing, but generally, would people resort to this? I know that the F below middle C is the lowest note, so it seems like it would be pointless. So I don't know what I am asking. Anyways, any tips would be appreciated. I am going to work hard and try to get it done by the next couple days. Though I have been practicing After-Syrnix II alot lately and can't stay away from my marimba! :)
