James Walker Joined: N/A From: N/A Posts: N/A Johnny - Based on your current repertoire, I'd suggest any of the following as a logical next step: Bach violin sonata or partita. I'm most familiar with the Sonata No. 1 in G Minor, and Partitas no. 1 and 3 are also common choices. You may opt to do just a movement or two, rather than the entire piece, such as the Bourree from the first Partita, or the Prelude from the third Partita. Suite for Marimba (Fissinger). A staple in the repertoire. If you can handle the Dances and Rhythm Song, this piece is within your reach. Toccata for Marimba by Emma Lou Diemer. Two-and four-mallet sections. Astral Dance by Stout. Commonly combined with the Two Mexican Dances to form a suite. Perhaps some Japanese music? Frogs (Abe) - one of the more technically accessable Japanese pieces for a high school or early college student; Conversation (Miyoshi) - Might be a little tough, but worth checking out. Hope this gets you started. Best of luck, JW http://www.malletjazz.com Remote Host:
