Description:
Fiddle Tunes for Marimba is a collection of old-time American, Scottish, Irish, and English fiddle tunes transcribed for two-mallet marimba or xylophone with four-mallet marimba accompaniment. The fiddle tunes included in the collection were selected to introduce percussionists and mallet players to the rich traditions of American and European folk-dance music. The challenging two-mallet tune melodies work well as technical studies that are fun to play.
The following fiddle tunes are included in this volume:
- Arkansas Traveler
- Billy in the Lowground
- Blackberry Blossom
- Bonaparte Crossing the Rocky Mountains
- Chicken Reel
- Devil’s Dream
- East Tennessee Blues
- Garry Owen
- Hills of Glenorchy
- Irish Washerwoman
- June Apple
- Liberty
- Maggie Brown’s Favorite
- Mary Walker
- Red Haired Boy
- Sailor’s Hornpipe
- Salt Creek
- Sligo Maid
- Soldier’s Joy
- Stronsay Waltz
- Swallow Tail Jig
- Whiskey before Breakfast
These 22 tunes are accessible, fun, and functional. . . . This would be a great addition to the library of a private-lesson instructor or band director to be used as sight reading, fun and easy duet material, or as an end-of-the section playing test.—Joshua D. Smith
