I'm performing this tonight!

[@gabone4]

That marimba is absolutely beautiful, with rich tones and feeling such emotion. I honestly felt the cello performance was lacking, as it stayed relatively static, no dynamic changes, no emotion. I felt the marimba was the best part of this piece.

[@jackj.pelletier1666]

The cello laying back only supplying extended notes and silence is what allows the marimba to sound so dynamic and vivid. Exactly what a cello is supposed to do in a piece with other musicians. Perhaps you don't find this combo appealing, no harm in differences of taste. 👍

[@charlienawa4354]

@@jackj.pelletier1666 I agree with this, but I just felt like they are fighting in their expression and they are taking away from each other. Their moods and interpretations seem completely different which I feel made the piece overall hard to get one message out of, but regardless are both have beautiful sound and this still sounds gorgeous.

I half agree. I do think that the dynamics were a little flat for the cello, but i could definitely hear and feel the emotion in his playing.

[@tannerpanthers1]

I hope that one day I may play as good as you! I've watched a lot of your videos and you are my inspiration to want to make and play such fantastic music!

[@lorenzocapasso]

Thank you for your beautiful words! It make me proud and happy! :)

[@lukerathbone6035]

This was by far one of the most beautiful duets I've heard in my life. Such a wonderful venue, too. Thank you for blessing me with this artistry.

Thank you so much Luke.

[@colinferguson1316]

What mallet selection are you using for this piece? Lovely tone, I own an Adams Classic as well, but those mallets take it to a whole new level

[@lorenzocapasso]

Colin Ferguson I used Adams Bogdan Bacanu medium (Green strip)!

[@RBeast111]

Would you consider making a 4.3 octave variant, or someone to make one? That is the only marimba I have access to.

[@unogino]

RBeast, here's how I transposed it to 4.3, with a marimba/flute version I performed a few years ago, where they only provided a 4.3: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZyre5Wmib6IoNk

[@Augustes1]

lovely music.....I fear that both of the instruments seem to fight for each..well that for me!

[@HannahKayW]

I have always been so fascinated by this pairing. This was an incredible use of range, you complimented each other very well both harmonically and dynamically! Thanks for introducing me to such a pretty song, I will save this rendition for inspiration. ^^ I believe my ears are yearning for a higher accompaniment, perhaps a harp or something like that... but that's just a random thought :P not a criticism!

[@lorenzocapasso]

Thank you for your words:)

[@johnsannicolas2015]

Me and my friend are performing this piece for our solo and ensemble high school festival! I'll be on marimba and he'll be playing the cello part on bassoon. We hope we can share such emotive beauty with our judge and audience when we do perform it, and perhaps put together the entire suite for a recital!

[@lorenzocapasso]

Good luck for you're recital! :)

[@charlesbeall3965]

Almah performed in a synagogue, how cool is that!

[@starlucanyaart]

I listened to it again today, and rediscovered the beauty of this piece. I'm a cello and marimba lover, and this piece honor the two instruments together. I love the sensual way they play. And i'm amazed to see how the cello player make a peaceful pause to let the marimba player make his solo. It's full of respect. Thanks for this wonderful piece.

What were the mallets used for the marimba?

[@rachelaganmusic]

I like the way these two instruments sound together, but I gotta be honest, sometimes the marimba rolls sound clunky. Like you're angry about something.

The Music on SteveWeiss doesn't tell me, I was wondering if this can be played on a 4.3 Octave Marimba. Please and ThankYou

[@lorenzocapasso]

Derryk Theberge I'm sorry but It needs a 5 octaves!

[@unogino]

Derryk, here's how I transposed it to 4.3, with a marimba/flute version I performed a few years ago, where they only provided a 4.3: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZyre5Wmib6IoNk

[@derryktheberge8695]

Would you happen to be able to provide me the transposed version you had? I would love to learn it myself if you still have it.

[@unogino]

So sorry Derryk, I didn't write it down, just transposed it in my head a few days before the performance.

[@TheMichael2737]

I just wanna know as to why it says "Shooted" at the end.......

[@Andriale]

TheMichael2737 yeah it should have said shoodeth if we’re going to be grammatically correct

[@ZPdrumer]

forse perché lui è italiano. Scommetto che inglese non sia la madrelingua. Ma la musica era bello allo stesso. Probably because he's Italian. I'm guessing english isn't his first language. But the music was beautiful just the same
