★ BACKGROUND NOTES ★
"No letter that could be sent deserves to go undelivered."
Violet Evergarden, main character of anime series Violet Evergarden
Violet is my first ever vibraphone solo, adding to my catalogue of usually marimba- dominated works. The title Violet reflects on an anime protagonist named Violet Evergarden, from the popular series Violet Evergarden, and her selfless desire to always help and eventually bring closure to people's stories that she encounters in her own journey for self-discovery.
Violet reflects the ideas of helping bring happiness to others in all situations, with the main 'positive' theme being repeated in various keys and permutations throughout the piece, while also being iterated in different manners ranging from calm and peaceful, to radiant and joyous, before ending on a more solemn and reflective note.
I wrote this piece for Carissa Soares, who is one of my good percussionist friends. It's a great experience writing for someone else and this allows me to try new ideas I wouldn't otherwise try on works premiered by myself.

Thanks for having me on board to record this pretty vibe solo! 🔮

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you for working hard and playing so good 😁

[@brendenwilliams6000]

Great playing Carissa!

[@austinnordhaus7552]

Adam, your skill in composition honestly excites me. As a percussion major myself, you are such an inspiration and truly deserve to be further recognized. You are an innovator in the mallet repertoire genre and I hope you continue to write for years to come.

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Ah thank you so much Austin, I really appreciate you so much 😊

[@natanlacroix7185]

This piece remember us of good times that we have spend with our friends. Adam you’re a magician

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Ah awesome Natan, I will start thinking of it that way too :)

[@haroldsmith6808]

Well now I know what violet sounds like. Just wow, that's impressive

[@RK-yg7ne]

This feels very dreamy

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Dream awayyyy

[@JRBanitt]

This piece gives me a feeling of nostalgia similar to how the theme from Up or HTTYD does. Just such a home-sounding melody, and never an uninteresting moment!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Ah thanks for listening JR!!

[@schwaya6014]

Such a beautiful melody with lush harmony! I love what you’ve done with it (not to mention the title is perfect) 💜

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you Sean! Your profile pic matches this piece perfectly hahaha

[@LuckyHamburger]

Gorgeous songs like this are what inspire me to keep grinding and improving my own percussion skill. Thanks for writing yet another beautiful piece!

[@ParukiadeBolivar]

Aaaaahh! I love how you wrote this vibe piece! Please write more vibe solos!

[@elmarco239]

Never thought I'd fall inn love with a piece so fast...and so early in the morning 🌅😂 (8:06 am)

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Ooopsss good morning and thank you!

[@cityboisauce]

Don’t listen to this guy, he’s soft.

[@justnoahherehello]

Absolutely stellar. Great job yet again Adam, and to the performer!! A side note, I recently got access to a 4.3 octave marimba and I've ordered Dream, Hope, and Moon!! I'm excited to learn them!!

[@Flipperwi715]

Just beautiful.

Beautiful!

[@benjaminscholle5321]

This is great!

[@alexharper8973]

First off great solo, secondly I am planning on playing thise peice for solo and ensemble as a high school percussionist and was wondering what mallets would be best recommended? Thanks a lot for the peice and it sounds great!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Any medium articulate mallets will work well, they just need to have some warmth for the darker parts and then bright enough for the runs to sound sparkly :)

[@_I_like_music]

I’m no percussionist, but this is pretty, and the name fits

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Ah thank you so much that means a lot!

[@pablodelvalle]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Awesome

[@Brandon-jn1lh]

What mallets are those?
