Marimba Spiritual by Minoru Miki - Connor Dinneen - QCGU Semester 1 Recital 2024
Filmed 19/06/2024
This is a piece that I would listen to during class in high school after searching 'Coolest Marimba Pieces'. I never dreamed that I'd be able to play this in any form. Extremely fun and fulfilling piece that was a big jump in my playing abilities and my confidence. Huge thank you to my amazing backline Matt, Dara and especially Jaymee who ran straight into this after her own recital right before. This performance never mind inaccuracies is a performance I will always be very proud of so please enjoy.
Played in my 3rd year semester 1 recital at Griffith University's Queensland Conservatorium.

Tchik by Nicolas Martynciow - Connor Dinneen - QCGU Semester 1 Recital 2024
zhlédnutí 73Před měsícem
Filmed 19/06/2024 Tchik was a piece that my teacher picked for me when I said I wanted to do more snare drum and that I wanted to get out of my shell. This piece was perfect for that and while it took a very long time to get the feel for this piece as it was something very different from what I have played before. I really tried to inject some of myself into this performance and I feel I really...

Filmed 13/11/2023 Accompanied by Dara Williams @Beats_by_dara Toccata is a diverse piece moving from interlocking grooves to borrowed ideas from many past music styles. Enjoy the quick runs and the waltzes equally as both performers work together to put together a highly physical piece of music displayed in high emotions.

Bach Cello Suite 1 Minuet I & II (Marimba) - Connor Dinneen - QCGU Semester 2 Recital 2023
zhlédnutí 133Před 9 měsíci
Filmed 13/11/2023 The minuets from Bach’s first cello suite show two very different interpretations of a minuet. The first minuet displays a lively heartfelt dance pushing and pulling as if a dancer is in front of the marimba on stage. The second minuet shows a complete change in character moving to a darker more haunting dance felt in more by the stark contrast from the first minuet. The piece...
Economy of Means mv.1 Filigree by Robert Honstein - Connor Dinneen - QCGU Semester 2 Recital 2023
zhlédnutí 32Před 9 měsíci
Filmed 13/11/2023 This movement on the vibraphone utilises only few unique notes creating an ostinato with a melody appearing within. The constant pedal creating a sustained ringing contrasting with the quick rhythm accentuated by the aluminium foil on the lower octaves of the instrument. Let the sound wash over you and enjoy the peacefulness in the noise. Played in my second year semester 2 re...
Ends to A Mend by JaRon Brown - Connor Dinneen - QCGU Semester 2 Recital 2023
zhlédnutí 99Před 9 měsíci
Filmed 13/11/2023 This piece is wild, but amazing adventure. There is a great deal of interplay between the electronics and the player that makes this piece exciting. This piece goes to my friends that got me to where I am today both those talked to frequently and those who I haven’t seen for years. Background audio was added over the top of the recording because the audio coming out of the spe...
Side by side by Michio Kitazume - Connor Dinneen - QCGU Semester 1 Recital 2023
zhlédnutí 54Před rokem
Filmed 21/06/2023 Side by Side is a multi-percussion piece that involves three pairs of skin instruments as well as a kick drum. The three pairs of instruments are a set of bongos, two congas, and two tom-toms. The compositional concept that this solo is based around is the idea of the quavers and dotted quaver rhythms fighting for dominance as the primary sense of pulse. This piece has many no...

Filmed 21/06/2023 Written by Frederico Chueca, arranged by Nancy Zeltsman This piece was originally written for piano then was adapted for guitar before being arranged by Zeltsman for Marimba which will be heard today. This piece is playful and exciting with a waltz like feel that is weaved in and out between both lighter and darker feelings that are explored through the piece. So grab your umb...
Declaration, Song & Dance Mv.I & III by Kristen Shiner -Connor Dinneen -QCGU Semester 1 Recital 2023
zhlédnutí 121Před rokem
Filmed 21/06/2023 The first movement of the piece titled Declaration has a hypnotic feel as the same idea is repeated continuously through out the piece. This is only interrupted by quick interjections which gives the piece its intriguing character. The third movement titled Dance is considerably more upbeat using both sides of the timpani mallet as well as many different locations on the head ...

zhlédnutí 50Před 2 lety
Filmed 03/05/22 Wind was the first 4 mallet piece I learnt in my first semester at uni. This was my first performance of it where I was invited back to my high school for their percussion showcase. It was fun flexing on my old ensemble but I enjoyed seeing how much they'd grown musically in the 6 months since I'd been gone so much more.
