Still Leaves Falling, for solo 4.3 marimba is now available for purchase in the Full Circle Publications section of this site, for $10.00 (pdf file). Check it out if you are looking for reasonable solos for a non five octave marimba. Not technically virtuosity, but it does require excellent musicianship and a creative musical mind/ear.

1. Autumn Island, Roger Reynolds for solo marimba. From the Neuma Records recording in 1998.

The Subscription Series for Full Circle Publications is now operational. There are two levels as you will see: the Basic Level and the Premium Level.

Heartland Marimba Quartet CD now available!
Posted on November 01, 2019. Please copy and past links!
The Heartland Marimba Quartet CD has now been released, and is available from: https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/heartlandmarimbaquartet
https://heartlandmarimbaquartet.hearnow.com
or
www.HeartlandMarimba.com/publications.
This is a really great CD, with music by Gottschalk, Orfaly, Pickering, Joplin, Blasco, Simpson, and Gordon Stout! Their recording of my New York Triptych is totally amazing! It has all the right energy, musical direction, control of articulation and tone quality, and is something I am very proud to add to my list of recorded compositions! I highly recommend this CD. Matthew Coley, their director, is really the new Clair Omar Musser in today's marimba world (my thought), and this group is a seasoned chamber music ensemble, as good as any string quartet!
YouTube links galore!
