We should just do all our recitals in parking garages from now on. You can't get that kind of beauty from a regular hall.
Cough cough severance hall is better cough cough
Brian Randall true :3
Brian Randall I second that notion
True! I love practicing in the stairwell at school because it sounds so echo-y and ethereal
Listening to this makes me sad, not particularly in the feel of the song, but I was going to play this for my final recital at college and never got the chance to when they sent us home for quarantine. Unfortunately I haven't been able to play in over a year and really want to be able to perform this piece one last time
I feel this all too hard. This is such a beautifully haunting piece of music that’s written within a set of 4 solos and in my opinion is the pinnacle of the set. I did music education as a degree plan for a longer time than I should have and chose not to finish for multiple reasons, BUT I will always regret not being able to perform this piece on a stage….
As well as regretting not choosing performance as my degree plan.
Maybe I was a marimba player ina past life or some shit, because this speaks to my soul
Mark William why not try it in this life? =p
The acoustics of that room give the upper range of that marimba an incredibly wholesome and soul-piercing quality (especially during 2:32).
Lovely hall and well recorded! Props to the sound guys!
It’s a parking garage ;)
@@Fangis les go!
Go Jonny! He is the best.
Lovely performance. It’s beautiful how you can hear and feel the ferocity in the attack of the mallets during the climax, yet the melody is still soft and sweet. I wish I could do something like that.
There's something delightfully enchanting about this. Thank you!
Anyone else notice that Sammut has a melodic pattern that goes something like da-da-da-da a lot of times in his pieces?
Yes a lot !!
it’s those time signatures in 10/8
Yo whats good fangus
mhm!! I agree!
sounds amazing. been playing this piece for months and still can't get it like this
there is a freshman at our school, her name is Macy, and she's absolutely crushing this solo! She's one of the best marimba players I've seen, and as far as i know this is her first year learning 4 mallet. I've been learning it for 2 years, and I doubt that i could play it as well as she does.
is she in high school or college?
@@albertobocanegra6280 this was when we were both in high school, I was a sophomore and she was a freshman
That low A speaks to my soul, like the big puffy 111s make that low A like a portal to another world. Been working on this solo for some time now, and I keep referring to this video because this is the best performance (that's recorded on youtube).
When those octaves hit 🥰🤯 SO GOOD
Has anyone else watched this video 20+ times
Leyla Stewart them’s rookie numbers
@@Andriale seriously though I have no clue how many times I've times I've seen this
@@Andriale Me too. hundreds probably now that a year has passed
Yep I'm playing this for solo ensemble.
Absolutely beautifully played! I like to alternate the right hand to honor the idea of rotation... Wink-face.
THIS PIECE IS SO GREAT BUT BY GOLLY IT'S TAKING FOREVER TO READ AND LEARN
Ukeleyla
If you're still struggling: separate the hands. Left hand is primarily doing "one-e-a, e-and, three-e-a, four and." The second pattern most prevalent is, "one, two, three and, and, and" (I counted it as though it's in 5. I haven't seen the part) After you nail those two down then just put the right hand with it. :-)
ukeleyla is it actually super hard ....
It’s not that bad imo. The ability to understand and play the rhythms in both rhythmic sections I think is the hardest part. Notes are otherwise easy due to the fact that a quick scan and a playthrough of that measure can tell you if you’ve played it right, assuming you know what it sounds like.
To drumluv, thank you! Luckily I managed to learn the piece but the way you explained would have helped me a lot (:
fi s Compared to other pieces, this one is not super hard. At the time while I was learning it I was still new to marimba literature and took a piece above my skill level, so I did indeed struggle. If you are familiar with playing the marimba this piece is very relaxing to learn, and has that right amount of difficulty. I hope my crisis comment above did not prevent you from learning this piece. It truly is beautiful and a must-learn.
It’s octaves time
Hey, that´s pretty good!
Would love to know how this was miced!
yoo definitely buying this piece 🤩 and learning it 👌🏾
I would be really interested in the details of the sound recording, as it is one of the really good examples of recording marimba.
are you using the same mallets for both hands? If so, which ones? I love how these sound
Beautiful piece
what academic level is this piece rated at?
Just wish I could find the sticking pattern
My teacher told me that the sticking is about the same at the beginning just with different notes. So for the first page and a half I've been using the sticking 123-23-123-123-123-23 because that's the sticking my teacher said he played with. I would tell you the sticking for the rest but I haven't gotten that far yet. Sorry. Hope I wasn't too late and I hope this helped a little
Devontae Lindsey Apparently there are different versions that have different/missing stickings. Mine has it written in as 1232412312412324 for the majority of the 4/4 parts.

The mallet stickings are supposed to feel natural. I'm just starting to learn this movement. I'm just about finished with the first.
I’m a sophomore and I’m tryna learn this for solo and ensemble
i hope it goes well for you! it’s a great choice
I actually changed to Astral Dance by Gordan Stout, COMPLETELY different vibe lol
@@jaminjosh7178 never heard of it before, i’ll go check it out
@@jaminjosh7178 I tried to learn that in the 8th grade and it was so hard to read😭 i’m a freshman in highschool and right now i’m playing prelude 1 by ney rosauro and i’m almost done with it. maybe i’ll revisit astral dance after 😔
I want to buy and play this piece but in the description of the piece it says it is compatible with a 4.3, 4.5, 4.6 and a 5 Octave Marimba. I was hoping that someone would be able to better explains this to me. How could it be played on either a 4.3 or 5.0 octave marimba? Is it written out for each of the different octave marimbas or do you have to figure it out by yourself? Hopefully this isn't a stupid question.
I would say it is because the notes in the piece span at least 4.3 octaves, which could be played on an instrument up to 5 octaves.
Ethan Cowburn it's composed for 4.3 octaves but 4.6 and 5 octaves have 4.3 octaves in them and then some so any music for a 4.3 can be played on them
can this be played on 4.3 octave marimba?
ava rettig yes it is meant for 4.3
That's the best part!
@@loganbmusic97 what
Does anyone know what marimba piece is played for the intro?
it's the prelude of Bach's 5th suite
Dude, that was good. Interp too.
In the sheet music is the sticking written for the player?
The sticking is split into hands, the right hand notes are beamed on top and the left hand notes are beamed on the bottom.
+Bloxy123 so there's no 1-4? Just R and L?
+Valerie Holmes There are no mallet numbers, no.
Valerie Holmes a easy way to figure out the sticking for the peice is that all the right hand notes are faced up and all the left hand notes are faced down
In my version of the music, sticking is written in with mallet numbers. 1232412312412324 for the beginning 4/4 section.
Hermoso 😘

There are phrasing marks but you wouldn't know it watching this performance.
+Stephen Thomson Its not a federal law that performers have to follow the score. Its rather pointless for everyone to play the piece the exact way its notated everytime
You have ears, but you wouldn't know it from your comment.
Ya know. Except that he is playing them. Sometimes subtlety is lost on the ignorant.
Stephen Thomson I challenge you to play it better than this and upload it to RUclips. I'll even subscribe to your and channel and wait.
Stephen Thomson If you actually look at the sheet music there is no phrase markings at all LOL!
