Two Rhythmic Dances

Composer: Maitland, Gillian

Price: £12.95

Instrumentation: Marimba
Number of mallets: 4
Difficulty: Intermediate
Accompaniment: None
Brazilian Nights and Orinoco are for 4 mallet marimba solo.  Whilst being a fun composition to add to your repertoire, Two Rhythmic Dances also concentrates on developing a more advanced technique as a four mallet player.  Brazilian Nights concentrates on hand Independence over a larger breadth of the marimba, and also one handed rolls, while Orinoco concentrates on mallet Independence.  Two Rhythmic Dances has been written for 5 octave marimba, but with minor changes it would fit on 4 1/3 octave.
