Image - 20 Children's Songs for Marimbastart to play marimba - easy tunes - bestseller Introduction by Robert Van Sice For years it has seemed to me a type of sickness that young marimba students have been nourished on a strict diet of non-marimba music. Unfortunately this has spread even further down the chain to professional players presenting programs which contain only 25% music written for the instrument. It seems to me that if our instrument is ever to be accepted as a serious solo medium, we ourselves must first come to terms with its repertoire. This collection of study pieces for young marimbists is one step in solving this problem. These etudes are short, charming and intended to prepare the young student technically for the marimba writing today. Robert Van Sice The purpose of 'Image' is to present a collection of solo marimba music for the aspiring marimba player. In the years I studied with Robert Van Sice, I remarked a missing link in the repertoire between music schools and conservatories. So I collected a lot of specific items which appear in today's Western, European and Eastern marimba literature. Score sample Details |
