I recently when to a friends senior recital and her focal instrument is the Marimba and I absolutely fell in love with the sound. My friend is going to be playing the Marimba at my wedding. However, I have no idea what music to play. Any suggestions? The wedding is not until next summer- so there is plenty of time.
Thanks a lot
I stumbled across an arrangement of Pachabel's Canon not too long ago. yes, I know, Canon in D is over-played @ weddings, but those are the versions that aren't arranged by Nanae Mimura. This is a "must hear"!!
Go to Honeyrock Publishing (www.honeyrock.net) to hear an MP3 sample (from 'Home', go to 'Solos', then 'Mar. & Xyl.' It's the 8th from the bottom). Once I heard it, it was an immediate reaction to buy it. AFter learning at it, i have to admitt that a few of the variations are REALLY tough, but it's worth it. IMHO, though, I'm not a fan of the ending choral. See what ya think of it!
Best,
CJT
PS For some reason, the segement that's played in the sample seems very "Levitan-esque" to me.
