Hey folks. Im a public school band director/jazz drummer and marimba player. Im just gettin back into shape on the marimba and enjoying my Malletech 4.5 this summer.
I am about performance ready with the following repotoire and wanted to get input into the ordering of my selections.
I should say my audience will be general public, most if not all will be hearing the marimba for the first time. Some will be musically literate, studied, concertgoers. A lot will be going to a classical music concert for the first time.
I got these pieces together and want to perform them before I tackle some major works down the road.
A. What do you think of this order?
B. If I were to ADD ONE piece, what should it be..Im open to suggestions. It shouldnt be too hard..I dont have a lot of time to learn a major work.
1. Musser Etude Opus 6, #9 (maybe this should go last?)
2. Yellow After The Rain
3. Back E Major Partita
a. Gavotte and Rondo
b. Menuett 1 & Menuett 2
c. Prelude
4. Astral Dance
5. Mexican Dance #1
6. Mexican Dance #2
So there it is. Short and sweet. I dont want to shock a first time audience. I want it to be a compact little recital.
Ive also been asked to perform at a local college Music Ed class as an example of..."You don't have to have "Band Director Chops" just because you teach public school" so I think this will a nice little half- recital, class length program.
Thanks
Tom
