this is by far the most amazing marimba concerto i've ever heard
With the blend of voice and percussion, this piece feels to me like the heartbeat of the human race. The big bass drum was this heartbeat and added an "epic" quality that placed me right in the heart of what I imagined as a jungle like environment, containing both indescribable beauty and unimaginable threats. With this image of the jungle in mind, in this piece I hear the desire of humanity to marvel and engage with the beauty of their environment as well as humanity's quest toward understanding and making sense of both horrific and sweet circumstances. This piece was deeply inspiring to me. Thank you.
This brought tears to my eyes. Zappa was right- music is the best. He'd have loved this. A million thanks.
This is the best marimba concerto ever written
Best choir and percussion piece I have ever listened to! So inspiring!
Everybody has their preferences! I've played on Adams, Vancore, Yamaha and MarimbaOne for a very long time. Then I bought my own MarimbaOne, because I just love the sound of their instruments, I think they sound quite woody. I'm totally in love with my instrument, no regrets! I also like Yamaha though because of its clear sound.
Caraaaaaaaa I'm right there with you. I bought a Marimba One with Basso Bravo resonators and Enhanced Voicing. I love it so much and so does everyone else who hears it. But we all have certain sounds that we gravitate towards based on influence and preference.
Yes, this marimba does have an AMAZING sound, but it is Korogi, not Marimba One! Check them out, great instruments!
mr Koshinski, congratulations on this amazing piece!
Gene! What a pleasure to come across this Concerto - it gave me goosebumps!
Glad you enjoyed it man!
Thanks! The mallets there are Innovative Percussion - Nebojsa Zivkovic signature model. Great mallets - huge sound!

HOLY HELL! SPEECHLESS!
Very captivating writing, Gene! Not to mention the fine playing (and singing).
BEAUTIFUL!!
Hey Gene. Love your piece. I'm about to start working on it! Can't wait to perform later this year.
MDPercussion hey can you send me a copy of the sheets please? I'd love to play it, my mail is tonitopercusion@hotmail.com. Please!
There are several factors in creating an amazing design. One resource I found that successfully combines these is the Delfords magic plan (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the best course i've seen. look at this extraordinary website.
buy one
thanks for sharing this wonderful piece! Fresh about the combination of choir and percussion!
Very nice, Gene!
Wonderful piece and amazing performance!
Awesome!
Maravillosa obra.
This is pretty awesome! What cymbal was the middle percussionist using for sus cym,, the cymbal on his left? It's so perfect for this piece.
I think it's a Sabian Legacy, 17". Glad you like the piece!
Very cool!
Hey Walter - thanks! The piece is published through Bachovich Music Publications in New York. They distribute worldwide so you should be able to get it here:

Thank you for the quick answer, What grade are the choir parts?
Walter Mertens The choir parts aren't too difficult - rhythm is the most difficult aspect. The bigger the choir, the better, however. I have done the piece with some very good high school choirs, but typically it is no problem for a decent university choir. The most important thing, other than pitch/rhythm is to have a full sound and the perform with intensity. This is most often the issue with choirs. That's why I say strength in numbers. Thanks Walter!
Gene Koshinski Hey Gene, Is it possible to see some extracts of the score to have a better view at the difficulty of all the parts. and to show it at the conductor of the choir's. Some extracts of the hardest parts is enough. You can reach me also via my mai: walter.mertens100@gmail.com. Thanks a lot.
Oh perfect, I already have this mallets ! :D
I really like your music. Would love to hear other genres too; chamber, orchestral, etc if you have any. Cheers!
Look around on CZcams, there is more stuff, but it does all involve percussion... :)
Unique!
Get it!
ive played some great mussers and some great yamahas
Also, I've got your piece "Get It!" and I've been really enjoying it!
Dillon Phillips hey can you send me a copy of the sheets please? I'd love to play it and I really love the concert, my mail is tonitopercusion@hotmail.com, please.
you go david
great pice!!
Wow, It's a great piece, I would like to perform it in Belgium for the Belgian Percussion days. Where can I find the score and the parts?
greetings Walter
**clap clap clap**
"HAAAAAAA-OOOOOOOO!!!"
A word with a friend percussion teacher :SUBLIME en Français
Do they sing "Nightmare"? In the 1st part?
Awesome piece and a fabulous marimbist ! Could you tell me what mallets are you using ?
I have enjoyed an adams or two in my day. I agree marimba ones are over rated, but I have heard some great people play on them, so they arent THAT bad :P
Sounds like a tribute to Fifties pop exotica records. That's not a criticism.
Is this the whole thing? I was really hoping for more :( Great work though! I really enjoyed it.
Eww no to both marimba one and Adams are terrible! The best marimbist is Keiko Abe so therefor that makes Yamaha the best brand besides it's more so the player than the instrument
