July 23Jul 23 Composed this one for an upcoming xylophone project and thought I'd like an opinion or two on it. Longing for Past Times.mp3 Longing for Past Times.pdf
17 hours ago17 hr Hi @MrBelegro !The xylophone is well chosen for nostalgia of childhood! I think you can add some melodic parts to the piano as well, and on top of that xylophone can play 4 notes at most at the same time so it can be an accompaniment as well. Some countermelodies can be added too to allow an interaction between xylophone and piano. Thx for sharing!Henry

Four mallet is more common for vibraphone.As for the piano countermelodies or solos -- nothing is set in stone as for this composition, so I will add a few of those shortly. Thanks for your feedback and advice!
