Marimba, 4 mallet, intermediate(?) piece needed!!
Posted: Sat Aug 29, 2015 3:34 pm
I've been playing marimba for approximately a year and a half and have an audition coming up. I switched to mallet percussion after 8 years of clarinet and about 5 years of piano (I always hated clarinet). I had a teacher for the first couple months and ended up catching on pretty quickly if I do say so myself (probably a huge thanks to my past with piano.) I can play 4 mallets and when I auditioned last year I played Yellow After The Rain. I was SO nervous and ended up actually holding my mallets incorrectly. So that was a fail. I ended up as 2nd chair in the lower band. This year I'm getting an early start and want to kill it. I don't have a teacher so I'm struggling finding pieces. I want something pretty significantly harder than Yellow After The Rain that I can take a lot of time to learn but not insane. We normally audition with a piece about 1-2 minutes long but it can also be a part of a longer piece. Any suggestions or links would be so so appreciated!!!! Also, any just general advice on mallet auditioning/playing or advice on sight reading would be great! Thank you!!

The Zeltsman list is one of the best resources for this kind of thing:
