I a also playing this for my senior recital. I'm playing the marimba part and my friend is playing the clarinet part. It is very technically challenging, but I enjoy it. Are there any program notes on this piece?
The xylophone is definitely lighter and more portable, but the range is usually only around 3.5 octaves vs. the 5 octaves of the marimba. For most marimba music, this is the main reason you wouldn't really be able to effectively play it on xylophone instead.
I’m playing this for my senior recital and I’m so excited! It’s a beautiful piece.
Thank you very much!! So glad to hear you are playing it!

Thank you for playing my music! The program notes can be found on the title page of the score or on my website!
If you needed to perform on uneven terrain would a xylophone be portable?

@@MarcoSchirripa thankyou for your in-depth reply. The marimba seems to be as portable as an actual piano
@@Noblebird02 Marimbas are very portable, you can easily take them apart and assemble them anywhere.
