If I won the lottery the first thing I would purchase is Marimba
That’s so smart😂 these things pretty much perfectly retain their value
@Victoria Davidson I KNOWWW
For a couple hundred, have you thought of a xylophone? It's wooden, I've heard them and people play double mallet; sounds great; takes less space, too.
@@c_farther5208 Xylo's are a little small they typically only come in like 2.6 maybe 3 octaves. I just got a marimaba a couple Weekes ago for a cheap price. The website I got it on was called Steve Weiss music
Me too
Played this solo my sophomore year of HS. My first four-mallet that kicked off my passion.
Nice, I'm trying to do this as a freshman. My second 4 mallet solo so far.
that.kid. apple What was your first?
Augusta Confidential "A cricket sang and set the sun" by Blake Tyson
that.kid. apple I love that one. I really should play it next year.
Augusta Confidential Try it this year, I started learning it in December and I had enough time for solo and ensemble (I got a 1)
I miss playing marimba so much. I remember when i first found this song and declared id learn it... and I did. That was roughly 4 yrs ago.
I can't remember exactly, but I believe this was either my first or one of my first four mallet solos. I was in 7th grade at the time, that would've been about 7 years ago. This video brings back a lot of memories and nostalgia about how much fun I had playing marimba.
When I was in high school, i played this to empress everyone. At the time, we all learned with 2 mallets. Holding 3, 4, or even 6 was a flex in itself, nevermind what youre playing. This is my go to song to play in any band hall.
1:08 is my favorite part, so good
That is a beautiful marimba. I'm imagine it would cost an arm and a leg, meaning I could no longer play it. Shame.
I'd*
Maybe if you paid two legs you could get a stool and still be ok
Lil Glove true
Lil Glove but then he can't play a vibraphone or a drum set completely
Joseph Jang yeah vibra is so fun to play
I played this solo and got superior and now today I have to play at state for solo and ensemble. This solo is a great choice for a first 4 mallet solo, but keep in mind that it isn't very simple. It is very challenging with some rythyms and dynamics and stuff, but once you get that down this song will become so fun to play. I totally reccomend this!
I've been learning this piece for like an hour now, and I realized it is way easier to learn than yellow after the rain. And rain dance still has a lot of different techniques in it for judges to watch.
@@JustAnotherPerc somehow only a class B
I have been dying to hear a quality recording and playing of this since I heard it years back in high school, I could not be happier to finally see one pop up, and SO beautifully played no less! thank you so much to Vic Firth and Garrett Arney for making this!!
Haven't touched a marimba in about 1 year since I moved... learnt this piece 2 years ago, never mastered the phrasing, but this piece was a blast to play
when i was a kid they played this instrument at my school. i had to cry and fel in love with the sound. i have to hear it irl to have the same feeling
I'm playing this this year as an 8th grader in my school's solo contest this weekend, hopefully that goes well. This guy can definitely play it faster than I can
How was it?
My friend played it for his solo contest and played it a bit faster with perfect accuracy and dynamic plus ofc technique
Yeah I want to know how was it xd
how'd it go?
Same but because of a pandemic I wasn’t able to
Learning this for my solo this year. I’ve been auxiliary for my band for the past 2 years and I had some experience on the marimba. I’m not necessarily new to the 4 mallet pieces but I’m still learning. I have about 40% of this song complete for solo and ensemble. Deadline is in 2 weeks from now. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to memorize this but I’m trying to the best of my ability.
Just curious, how did it go
ya how did it go
I love this, I’m almost done learning how to play it
I have a senior recital in 3 weeks where I solo play this piece for my performing arts diploma in high school. Wish me luck
@Landon Rost Great! This diploma is an awesome accolade to get into 4 years!
I miss playing this solo back in my third year of elementary school! Just absolutely love four-mallet
Bro what
this piece reminds me of a friend from high school who played this as an i&e for last years indoor season. he graduated this year but he was one damn good marimba player
Always loved playing the chorale section
Ugh the ballad is so beautiful
I’m starting to learn this song and I’m only in middle school it’s a lot of fun
This piece is amazing! This was the third 4 mallet solo I've ever learned, and I plan on using it to audition for the high school I wanna get into
Haley Ig .-. You have to audition to get in high school? Jesus Christ...
Lmao was your teacher Galen Lemmon
@@bardockjr.5793 nah
@@MichaelMyers6789 forgot I even made this comment, but for the specific school I am at now, yes because it's a performing arts school!
gets into my soul! well done, sir.
I love this piece. I'd like to take this next year, having recently finished up Yellow After the Rain, but my director wants me to take Concerto for Marimba, by Paul Creston. It does seem like a wonderful piece, too, so I might just take it.
すごい上手！
こんな演奏がしたいです♫
今年のソロコンテストでやります(*^^)v
my to!!!
dndjudjejjruf XD
@@user-wq5qu6uz4j me tooです
This was my favorite piece to play in school haha, talk about a blast from the ast
this is so ridiculously precise.
This is actually a beautiful piece if performed this well.
CZcams IS BACK AND I FINALLY GET TO LISTEN TO THIS AGAIN
久々に良い音を聞きました。
Love the Vic Firth Marimba Literature Library !
i just got this piece and i don’t think i’m gonna be able to do it🤣🤣
We're you able to do it?
I love this piece! I wish i'd be able to play it this good though
Well played by the chef
I love how this insinuates that the music is the food, which isn’t totally wrong since the flavor is 💯
I’m learning this to learn 4 mallet tech technique and about 2 weeks done and I’m about halfway through 😃
1:40 I feel like im a fucking unbeatable samurai warrior who's returning from the battlefield!
Vic firth, can you make Gitano for marimba by Alice Gomez?
I'd like to see this as well.
I would like to see Gitano as well. Lots of performances on CZcams, but would be great to have a really high quality recording.
Played this my junior year of H.S, advanced to State and got a 2.
Great solo
I'm going to state with this piece in two weeks, got a perfect score at district.
Je suis en 4è année de percussion, et c'est une très bonne pièce que ce soit à jouer ou à écouter.
Coucou le CRR de Toulouse.
Awesome Music
Is this a good song to learn to play with 4 mallets? I've never used more than 2 but I have lots of mallet experience.
my first 4 mallet was ghost garden by adam hopper. it’s really pretty and builds up the chops as well
Beautiful song!
This was what I was going to do last year for Solo and Ensemble but then Corona hit and now I’m doing Mbira Song.
0:58 very scary, as a freshman
Bro did you ever learn how to play it
I'm probably going to play this for contest, it seems easier than my all-state stuff I did this year but it'll be something I can play clean for once since it'll be my second 4-mallet solo, and let's just say my first one was pretty difficult for my skill, so I definitely struggled
what was your first one? good luck with this one!
We’ll come on all you Marimba players. Time to bring the most beautiful instrument in the world to mainstream again? TheBaja Marimba Band was jazz musicians who decided pop is best for seeing a large audience. Bring back a light Latin sound, perhaps with different instruments but as marimba as the main centerpiece.
lol when I played this in pre-school for my recital lmao this guy plays it so slow lmfao glad to see a good recording lololol I got 3rd place lmao lol
i played this when i was born for the president lmao but yeah your accomplishments are cool too
@@KrystinPritchard I played this when I was still in the womb while every single living thing in the observable universe and beyond was watching me but good for you I guess.
Amazing performance! For folks learning this piece, I believe the 2nd bar of the 6/8 has a misprint... Should be F&A in the right hand rather than the printed D&F... I could be wrong, but usually the first three bars of the melody are repeated, and this would be an unusual exception if intended.
Freshman here, this is my first 4-mallets solo! I’ll play this for a solo contest in 2 weeks
Good Luck!
これ弾けたらかっこいいよなー。
今、練習中の中2です。
速く弾けるようになりたい！
俺も!!!
わらさ でも、この方の演奏って実際のテンポよりもだいぶ速いですよね(^^;
A freshman is required to play a solo for band. Should they try this??
jenna haynes yolo, do it. It's good for the experience and if you already know how to play 4 mallets then it's always good to push your self. hopefully by the time you read this you haven't chosen a song yet haha
jenna haynes I'm in 8th grade and I'm doing this solo. Go for it!
jenna haynes No too easy. Most of the 7th graders play it here or Yellow After the Rain. Try Musser etudes or something like that
True my solo chNged to monograph 4
MiiPuns This song is not "too easy." The grips and changes in this song are very difficult. If you can play this perfectly and at tempo will all of the correct dynamics and rolls, then you had to practice extremely hard. My friend just got a 1 at districts on this piece because she worked at it every day for a long time. This is NOT easy. I'd like to see you play it.
what about measure 124?
Could his be played on a 4.3 octave marimba
Great job!
playing this today for my grade 7 trinity exam, im kinda over it coz i learnt it in february
VicFirth! Just suggesting, it would be nice to see something on Celebration Suite by Donna Bohn???!!!?.
+Dylan Dupree We'll look into it - thanks for the suggestion!
He didnt to the ritardando, those were like my favorite parts of the piece.
My 8th Grade Solo!
My best friend played this piece :)
Happy 4th birthday, rain dance video
中学2年生の時にソロでやったけど、はじめての4本だったから難しかった
Im an 8th grader in middle school learning this solo right now
Woooooooooooonderfuuuuullllll!!!!
I’m doing this for solo ensemble!!
hey vicfirth, make some keiko abe things
We needed to play this for honor band
is this a dubstep yet?
I honestly wish I could play this
VicFirth! Make a video of somebody killing "Rhythm Song"
+Matthew Martin You got it :) czcams.com/video/f9sDj3MAUOk/video.html
+Vic Firth Can you do Transformation of Pachelbels Canon?
+Vic Firth wahee!
+Vic Firth Also the song "chain" or "a cricket sang and set the sun"
1:08 is my favorite part
Como puedo hacerle para comprar sus baquetas?
Back to practice 😂
Played this solo on middle school last year
音高生がよく弾く曲
Hey VicFirth! You guys should add "Land" by T. Muramatsu to this 100 piece library.
czcams.com/video/ICCDfzhbndY/video.html
Yeah and it would be great if you could add all new videos to your marimba library playlist.
Makes it easier for those who are just interested in marimba music not in percussion in general.
playing this solo tmr 😓
Как это красиво🤩🤩🤩🤩
Beautiful
maybe do etude 1955??
where exactly does one buy a marimba anyway?
Papyrus Senpai from what I know, drum corps sell theirs once their season is over in August.
Online. Various music sites
Benjamin Harrison so they buy new ones every season??
Papyrus Senpai at a store
"hey mom, im heading to the marimba store"
I'm a high school percussionist playing this song for a solo ensemble contest. I need help with the grip. Any suggestions?
I play this with Steven’s and it works well
Ah the soundtrack to every indie film from 2007 to 2013
what r the notes at 1:00
where can i find the music for this?
This was gooooooooooooooood
.....i have to play this for a contest... and im on 8th.... im sCARED

Goose. Bumps.
This is Alex Gomez
I think this guy is a chef
1:08-1:38
there is a song that sound Like the beginning of that song..please?...or that has only 2 chords..please??
AchilleRock 99 the only thing that comes to mind is mango bay? Every time I think of that first part I confuse it for that one
Would you allow me, using this soundtrack in noncommercial fun-project of mine? I would highly appreciate that!
0:18 Sorry, need a marker
