The Camino

Written to depict the Camino de Santiago, a 600 mile pilgrimage on foot through western Europe, The Camino by Michael Charles Smith is an intermediate marimba solo that captures the wistful nature of this amazing journey. Perpetuated by a relentless sixteenth note motive in 7/8 time, the piece requires an evenness in touch and tone from the performer so the melody speaks clearly without interrupting the underlying sixteenth notes. This is a great piece for any developing performer looking to expand on their 4 mallet technique.

 

This piece ships in a printed, professionally bound folio with a full color cover.
