Zenith — for Solo Glockenspiel
Sheet music available at www.mileslocke.com
"Zenith" for solo glockenspiel written by Miles Locke
Recorded and performed by JR Alberto
Zenith uses the many timbres of the glockenspiel to paint a melodic picture in the mind of the listener. With the natural sound of the instrument (as well as a few extended techniques including bar dampening and setting a small coin on the bars) the ethereal and mysterious nature of the celestial comes to life.
Mallets used in this recording:
Clear mallets - Dragonfly "Magic Flute" in fiberglass
Rattan mallets - Dragonfly 1" Celeste mallets (wrapped in moleskin)

    i’ve recently bought this from you and i’m up to the fourth page so far so i’m still working on it, but as i’m listening to it again i just wanna stress how much i love this piece. from the musicality the player can show at the beginning and end sections (and all throughout in-between of course), the octave work that it will provide, the rhythmic attention, and so much more, i wish this was a more well known piece. it probably is my favorite marimba solo and has been for a few months now, and playing it feels as good in the hands as listening to it does.
