Vibraphone/Marimba Duet

This is one of my older ones... However, I spent some time repairing it, realized that there were a lot of problems and then rewrote most of it. It is through composed, but tied together on a motif basis... that is to say, the motifs come back in different forms/time signatures, using diminution and augmentation.

Vibraphone/Marimba Duet

I'd appreciate if any of the people on here have the ability to play and record this piece, I'd REALLY like a REAL recording. Anybody?

Hi,

There is a lot of potential for marimba/vibraphone, but I do not think you were able to fully exploit it. The texture is one dimensional through 90% of the piece. The marimba is in thirds with the vibraphone nearly all the time. The harmony was very simple too (which can work in a neoclassical sense) but there was not much harmonic development. There were no extended techniques either, which could have added a great sound to the music. The rhythmic variation and thematicism were clear, though, so good job on that.

Keep writing!
