Etude for Two Marimbas

Only two mallets are required for the majority of the piece, with four required in the slower middle section. This is a wonderful addition to the existing body of marimba duet literature with the melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic interplay between the two identical instruments.

Program Notes

Only two mallets are required for the majority of the piece, with four required in the slower middle section. This is a wonderful addition to the existing body of marimba duet literature with the melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic interplay between the two identical instruments. You can hear a recording of "Etude" on the University of North Carolina at Greensboro’s CD, “Sketches” (also available from C. Alan).
