ABOUT THE PIECE:
The Concerto No.2 for Marimba was originally written for five octave marimba and full symphony orchestra. The work was composed during the summer of 2001 and was sponsored by a grant from the University of Miami. The concerto lasts approximately 24 minutes and is dedicated to the marimba virtuoso Keiko Abe. The concerto is written in three movements:
I) Water Running in High Mountain has two contrasting themes and depicts the way water makes its path down rocky mountain slopes.
II) Reflections and Dreams starts with a quote from J.S. Bach and develops into a romantic and somewhat mystical atmosphere. Later, a new theme in a lively and contrasting tempo is introduced, which serves as a motive for a fugato movement that is developed before the main themes return.
III) Walking on Clouds has a lively tempo, but its soft melody and rhythmic structure in a 5/4 meter evokes an image of music coming from the clouds. The fugato idea that appears in the second movement returns in this movement before the solo cadenza. In the cadenza, the wooden sound played with the rattan handles of the sticks depicts an old tradition of African balaphones. A quote from a Keiko Abe theme follows, and excerpts of the main themes of the concerto reappear. After the re-exposition of the main themes, a coda using the same vigorous motive from the introduction concludes the work in an uplifting mood.

Me parece de una gran belleza sonora y variada dentro del registro de las marimba. Es la maravilla del mundo abstracto. Sin melodía?Saludos from Mexico
Maybe somebody here can help me out. A couple years ago I took a music history class at a junior college. The teacher was also a drummer. He showed us a video with percussion instruments like this but if I remember right it started with one guy playing his part and then he repeated his part and another player joined in with a new part and it kept repeating until they all were playing and then they faded back out until it was the one guy again. It was a long song and it sounded cool but I have no clue what it was called. It took me forever just to find music played with these kinds of instruments. If you know what I’m talking about or think you might know, let me know.
Brannon Kirk O'Neal sounds like something minimalistic composer Steve Reich would write. Maybe search his works?

I love that the front row players all have their parts memorized (as it should be!). But where are the women? Is South Miss a men-only school?
In the south miss performance of a different song by the same guy there is one woman. I thought that was low. There's a problem with women in music it's a shame.
I know this is old and a little late but:
I’m the glock player in the pink shirt in the front. At the time we had a female grad student in the studio as a full time student/major. We had 2-3 other female students in other ensembles. If she wasn’t performing another part of this piece as the soloist, she would’ve been performing as an ensemble member.
We were, and still are, always welcoming of all races, genders.
Also thanks for noticing we had it memorized. Dr Wooton required that all member for this piece.
How can I get in contact with the composer? I'm studying this concert to conduct it in september.
What mallets are using the vibraphone player?
Hi. i think it's hybrid mallets, ney rosauro signature

here's a few suggestions for constructing marimbas
Attend a school or self-study with online lessons
Make sure you are completely committed to it before you start
