So, I've already been accepted in to general college, so now I need to audition for the Music School at said college. Since one of the universities I was thinking of applying to (which I need not now, since I've been accepted to my first choice) required a Mallet solo out of Goldenburg's "New School for Xylophone", a standard among Mallet method books.
Anyways, I've been practicing it after school and he's what I've gotten so far! I have all the notes under my fingers (this was played from memory), I just need to clean it up and add shaping, phrasing and dynamics... Then run it with a met to get it steady.
Feel free to comment!

Monograph IV by Richard Gipson
October Night by Michael Burritt
Wind in the Bamboo Grove by Keiko Abe
Michi - Keiko Abe
Memories of the Seashore - Keiko agian.
LHStevens arrangement of Bach's prelude and fugue in Bb major... from the WTC.
2 mallet:
lots of xylophone rags. Maple leaf, Dottie Dimples. Dill Pickles, the Whirlwhind. Paul Creston's Concertino for Marimba and Orchestra.
*shuts up and listens*
hehe i dont recognize that one.
nice job on the recording though... sounds like a fiberglass Musser M-300 to me ;) it's a GREAT exercise to record and listen to yourself for practice. I applaud your efforts!
i havent played on a marimba in a way that makes me nervous... since 1999 :/ i miss that. quite alot. so, thanks for posting. someone out here really cares about the subject!! hehe ^_^
