Fiddle Tunes for Marimba

Fiddle Tunes for Marimba is a collection of old-time American, Scottish, Irish, and English fiddle tunes transcribed for two-mallet marimba or xylophone with four-mallet marimba accompaniment. The fiddle tunes included in the collection were selected to introduce percussionists and mallet players to the rich traditions of American and European folk-dance music. The challenging two-mallet tune melodies work well as technical studies that are fun to play. The following fiddle tunes are included in this volume: Arkansas Traveler Billy in the Lowground Blackberry Blossom Bonaparte Crossing the Rocky Mountains Chicken Reel Devil's Dream East Tennessee Blues Garry Owen Hills of Glenorchy Irish Washerwoman June Apple Liberty Maggie Brown's Favorite Mary Walker Red Haired Boy Sailor's Hornpipe Salt Creek Sligo Maid Soldier's Joy Stronsay Waltz Swallow Tail Jig Whiskey before Breakfast
