January March

January March is a cleverly crafted, fun solo for unaccompanied two-mallet marimba. The A section is bright with the melody being played by one hand, and pedal eighth notes by the other. The middle sections keep the same melodic idea, but develop it with sixteenth note flourishes and passages of rubato. The A section returns at the end with the melody in octaves and a push to a solid finish. Great for recital, audition, or contest!
