In the Stillness Beneath the Trees

This tranquil, meditative marimba solo with optional percussion accompaniment is geared toward beginning to intermediate 4-mallet players. Inspired by trees swaying back and forth with the wind, the writing is appropriately understated for both the solo and the accompaniment. The piece is perfect for intermediate players looking to expand their technical abilities. The accompanying parts can be performed by even the youngest of performers in order to educate and bring another dimension of color to the landscape.
