This volume presents twently interesting and full-size studies for vibraphone players to practice technique and rhythm.During the last decade there have been enormous developments in the technical possibilities and playing methods of the vibraphone. Alongside this, much new and interesting music has been available to the advanced vibraphone player, making use of a variety of techniques. However, not much has been done for the beginner on the vibraphone, and it is for this group that the studies in this book are intended.This book deals with the following techniques:a. Stick of the pedalb. Stick mutingc. Independence of the left and right handsd. Changing from playing chords to melodywith two stickse. Independent use of the sticks in one handVibraphone enthousiasts will love it!

Dit boek bevat uitstekend lesmateriaal dat speciaal is geschreven voor beginnende slagwerkers - die over slechts een aantal basisvaardigheden beschikken. In de twintig etudes komen de volgende technieken aan bod: pedaalgebruik, stokdempen,onafhankelijkheid van de linker- en rechterhand, wisselen van akkoordspel naar melodiespel met twee stokken, en het onafhankelijk gebruik van de stokken in één hand.

In den vergangenen Jahrzehnten haben sich die technischen Möglichkeiten und Spielweisen des Vibraphonsentscheidend verändert. Au�erdem wurde, gerade für fortgeschrittene Vibraphonisten, interessante Musik geschrieben, in der unterschiedliche Techniken verarbeitet wurde. Für Anfänger, die nur über Grundfertigkeiten verfügen, ist bisher aber wenig geeignetes Studienmaterial vorhanden. Die 20 Etüden in diesem Buch sind für diese Zielgruppe geschrieben und schlie�en somit die vorhandene Lücke. In die 20 Etüden wurden wichtige Techniken, wie z.B. der Pedalgebrauch, Schlägeldämpfen, unabhängiges Spiel von rechter und linker Hand und Wechsel von Akkord- und Melodiespieleingearbeitet. Endlich ein Buch mit richtigen Spielstücken für flei�ige Vibraphonschüler.

Durant ces dernières décennies, de nombreux changements sont apparus dans les différentes techniques et méthodes dâ??interprétation du vibraphone. Parallèlement, une musique de plus en plus moderne et intéressante utilisant des techniques variées, a été offerte au vibraphoniste chevronné. Comparativement, il ne fut pas fait grand chose pour le musicien débutant et câ??est ce dernier que sont destinées les 20 études contenues dans ce fascicule.Il contient les techniques suivantes :a. utilisation de la pédaleb. mise en sourdine de la baguettec. utilisation en alternance des mains : gauche et droited. passage dâ??un accord une mélodie (utilisation de deux baguettes)e. utilisation desdeux baguettes avec une seule main.

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,                                                       Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;                                                               Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,                                                             In the bleak midwinter, long ago.What can I give Him, poor as I am?                                                                                        If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;                                                                         If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;                                                                        Yet what I can I give Him: give my heart.The text from this beloved poem of Christina Rossetti (1830–1894) was originally published in an 1872 issue of Scribner’s Monthly, under the title A Christmas Carol. In the first of its five stanzas, the speaker describes in great detail a bitingly cold winter scene, void of both warmth and light. By the final stanza, the speaker's thoughts turn inward, asking what gift they may offer the infant Jesus, meek though they believe themselves to be.The poem was later set by English composer Gustav Holst (1874–1934) as a contribution to the English Hymnal in 1906 and remains the most popular setting today.London-born Rossetti came to be regarded not only as one of the greatest female poets of her time, but as an outspoken advocate on several societal issues, including slavery and cruelty towards animals.In this setting, word painting is of the utmost importance. Careful attention to word stress throughout the course of the piece will make the performance all the more captivating. Descriptive lines such as “frosty wind made moan” should be conveyed with swelling crescendos, like frigid gusts of frozen air.While this piece features an original tune, the beloved Holst melody is also featured briefly, beginning in m. 28. Take care to bring this out.There are plenty of other allusions to wintry scenes scattered throughout the choral parts as well as the accompaniment. I encourage you to put your sleuthing “hats” on and find them all. It will make the learning experience much more memorable and fun.

This composition was commissioned anonymously and by the Brevard Music Center in honor of Evan Armstrong North (1982-2011)

"The task of writing a piece of music for someone who has left the world all too soon is not an easy one. Does one write celebratory music, in honor of his well-lived life? Or does one musically depict the loss of such a beloved young man? I tried to do something of both. The first movement begins with the musical depiction of the loss, a descending scale of despair. As it is a concerto, much of the piece is a dialogue between the soloist and the orchestra. For the most part, the piano is the voice of love and hope while the orchestra is the voice of despair and loss. How does one move forward to live after such a loss? What ensues in the process of the first movement represents a gradual triumph over despair." - Robert Livingston Aldridge

Three Imaginary Folksongs was requested by the Concerts Society of Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral for their concert season celebrating the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Cathedral. The composer was asked specifically for a work which would highlight the much-admired talents of the principal clarinet, Jacqueline Thomas. The title is unambiguous. Taking three different approaches, each of which has a modal starting point, the three ‘folksongs’ from imaginary places, were developed in styles which reflect the work of earlier folksong-inspired composers. The first performance took place at Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral at a concert that not only celebrated the Cathedral’s 50th birthday, but also Stephen’s 70th.
