Works for Marimba Duo by Keiko Abe enhances two of her most performed solos,
Memories of the Seashore and
Wind in the Bamboo Grove by rewriting them for two players. This adds effects impossible to create by a single marimbist, makes the individual parts a little easier, and doubles the volume!
These marimba duets have similar blends of Western harmony and Japanese-style composition. If you're familiar with the original solo version, you'll be delighted by the new additions and impact that two players can create, audibly and visually.
Of course, you also incur all of the challenges of playing a duet: performing cleanly and musically with another person!
Difficulty: Advanced
