A Selkie Tale is a short music-theatre work (duration about 25 minutes) designed for performance by seven- to eleven-year-olds year olds. Four solo roles and several separate chorus groups give scope for the participation of a large number of children of all ability levels.The story is a humorous version of the Orkney folk-tale of an islander kidnapping a Selkie wife - a creature who is a seal in the sea and a woman on the land. Things go hilariously wrong with the Selkie wife escaping to rejoin her companions in the sea and Mansie the islander facing a most uncongenial alliance with his cousin and housekeeper Miss Trowie-Tattibogle.Xylophone part.Thisis a special item which is made to order.

This is effectively a work in three movements - Allegro Andante cantabile and Presto - which Davies likens to 'three obstacle courses bristling with technical difficulties'. However as he goes on to say 'young people arenaturally gifted with extraordinary rhythmic skills which normally remain untapped'. Given the opportunity older children have here the material for a highly arresting piece of music-making. Scoring also includes a small woodblock a small temple block and a small suspended cymbal. The xylophones are one each of the following: concert soprano alto and bass. The two glockenspiels are soprano and alto and the metallophones are bass and deep bass (avibraphone may be used instead of the latter). These studies will provide a challenge to all percussionists for whom there is a distinct shortage of suitable studies. Duration c. 5mins.

In the biography Keiko Abe: A Virtuosic Life, author Rebecca Kite tells the untold story of Keiko Abe's groundbreaking influence on the evolution of the marimba and its music. Kite also offers a history of the xylophone, the marimba, and the music, composers, and performers that each instrument was associated with over the centuries. Examples of rare and historic recordings are included on a CD. Keiko Abe transformed the marimba into today's five-octave solo instrument and full-fledged member of classical ensembles. Over the course of Keiko Abe's long musical career, beginning as a child prodigy at age ten, her rare gifts have garnered her recognition as a musical genius, consummate artist, innovator in her field, and composer of classical pieces of art music for her instrument.
