I am looking for some solo pieces to play. I am having trouble making up my mind. I am considering Dream of the Cherry Blossoms and Marimbology. I would like to use some the pieces that I choose for grad school auditions in the spring. Thank for the help.

Joseph Schwantner: Velocities
John Serry: Night Rhapsody
Yasuo Seuyoshi: Mirage
Andrew Thomas: Merlin

I hope this helps. If you need any more repertoire suggestions, just ask.
