Five original solos with piano accompaniment by a multi-faceted
composer/performer and historically significant mallet soloist. This
set includes program notes and composer biography. These five pieces,
Mallets Ala Zurke, Rag Doll Rag, Temptation Revamp, Waltz in Ragtime
and Joplin on Wood, are fun to play, fun to listen to and will surely
add to any concert or recital program as well as repertoire for solo
performances of any nature. Includes a CD recording of Harry Breuer
playing each piece with piano accompaniment.
This brilliant setting of Irish folk tunes is perfectly suited
to the marimba and will provide a popular addition to college-level
recitals.
"We have performed the trio on our concerts with great
success! It conveys a high level of musicianship."
A unique collection of early 20th century rags arranged for xylophone
solo with piano accompaniment. The solos range from easy to difficult
and include chord symbols for improvisation.
"These multi-level pieces are ideal for concert or recital.
Most important, they're great fun to play."
The greatest "tunes" ever written for xylophone. Solo
xylophone with 3 marimbas and piano accompaniment (can be played
as a quartet or solo with piano). A virtuoso piece for the advanced
performer.
"Something like this has been needed for a long time.
In my opinion it should be in every mallet player's library."
