Maarten Bauer Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) Hi everybody, The last months I have some problems with falling asleep. I always listen to baroque music, because it gives me rest. I suddenly got the idea to compose a simple piece so that I can easily fall asleep. For me Marimba sound very dreamy. The repetitions can be repeated as much as the musicians want it. The piece is called ''Welterusten,'' which is Dutch for Good Night. Welterusten.pdf Tell me what you think!

Luis Hernández Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I agree. The sound of the Marimba is beautiful. The piece is very nice, and there is a touch of "indeterminacy" with the ad libitum repetitions. Although the rhythm in triplets is persistent it's not tiring. Not sure if some section using other rhythm would make it better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the triplets: I firstly called the piece ''In Trans'' (In trance), so I inteded the repeating rythm to get in a sort of trance. Now, because it has to help me to fall asleep, I haven't changed the rythm. I am glad you enjoyed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
