★ BACKGROUND NOTES ★
Hope can be considered the brighter, more cheerful relative of my other 4.3 octave marimba solo Moon, which had a darker tone amongst the backdrop of the mythical tale of Chang'e and Houyi. Hope instead focuses on the more contemporary theme of shared optimism in darker times, and was written as a reflection on the power of humanity amongst global shutdowns and tragic loss of life caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
Hope is a simple and open-ended work with a clear melodic line and boundless phrasing opportunities. I originally wrote Hope as a compulsory solo for Marimbafest 2020 (a marimba festival which was cancelled due to COVID-19) to allow performers to freely present their phrasing and voicing abilities. Sometimes, the simplest works can show the most about a musician's thoughts, emotions and intentions, and as such your performance of Hope will always be unique amongst everyone else's.

Thank you for listening to my new piece 'Hope'! It's the simplest and most accessible work for solo marimba I've released and gives you a chance to explore all of your voicing and expression possibilities as a performer, and I hope you enjoy playing it some time, whether it's for a recital, jury, audition or just for fun. If you enjoyed the piece, please give me a thumbs up above :)

Hold on just a minute. All of Adam’s compositions for two people have two-word titles, and all of his compositions. for one person have one-word titles. This can’t just be a coincidence
You nailed it :))
I’m in high school band, but the rest of my high school year was cancelled. I’m going to college as a CompSci major. I don’t know if there’ll be a marimba where I’m at. I don’t know if I’ll ever play the marimba again. I really needed this. Thank you.
Hey thank you so much Hope (same name!!) 🤗 Ah uncertainty is always tough but going to study compsci is a big thing and is awesome! I'm sure you will find another opportunity to play marimba, whether it's for school, for friends or for your personal enjoyment. There's always time for music in the future, don't worry 😁
March Corps! You can even do DCA which is just weekends. Don''t stop playing. Biggest regret of my life after HS.
I want you to know that I’m in the exact same boat!! 2020 grad who’s going to college not majoring in music and I worry I’ll lose track of marimba but music will always stay with us wherever we go! Good luck in your future 😊
I’m an upcoming sophomore and i used this song as my four mallet solo in my audition . I’ve been behind my class in just about everything, but i got the part i wanted in front ensemble (vibes) along with section leader, thanks Adam for this amazing piece!
I couldnt stop smiling watching this, is just absolutely brilliant. Keep composing beautiful piece like this, keep it up man.
Thank you so much man, I appreciate it!
Thank you for composing such a beautiful piece. As soon as I heard it, I knew I had to play it. This was my first four mallet marimba solo and my first solo ever! It was very fun to learn and memorize. I chose to learn this piece for a state solo competition. I got a perfect score from the judge and he said he really enjoyed the piece. I also performed this in another marimba solo completion and got second place with the solo. Once again, thank you so much for inspiring me to play and creating this masterful piece. :)
I am playing it right now for my exam in December. I’m at a Arthumaniora in Belgium (conservatory)! It is such a beautiful peace Adam! The right notes, the right chords, the right feelings... thanks for this amazing peace!
I got both Moon and Hope for Christmas this year. I am enjoying both pieces very much already.
This piece makes me feel very nostalgic. It’s so pretty
My favorite one so far!!
How is Adam not "more" famous? Stunning writing and playing. You are a gift to our field. Thank you.
Just beautiful Adam, I love the depth of your pieces, you pick thé right notes.
Natan from Belgium
Thank you Natan, I really appreciate it!
Another incredible solo from Adam Tan! Amazing job.
Thanks for listening 😊
Just bought this piece. Can't wait to play it!
So beautiful! It has some big music box vibes.
Really considering auditioning for my undergrad music scholarship with this piece...stuff like this just moves me.
From an analysis standpoint, the theme is so beautiful. The exposition of the theme in the first few phrases almost sound like a lullabye you would sing to your child to help them sleep at night. And then the theme builds with more color in the chords all the way until the emotional climax which in my opinion is the key change. And as the piece winds down it is almost like the child you are singing to is finally sound asleep. Honestly if “Hope” was already taken as a title, I would call it “Peace”.
And I’m just a high school student, whose primary instrument is rudimental (marching) snare drum, so I may be completely wrong. But is any interpretation truly wrong? :) Excellent work Adam. I really enjoyed listening this and I would much like to play it one day. Hoping you are well
Thank you so much man! Funnily enough, I was actually considering calling it "peace" at one point hahaha! I love your analysis of it :))
Adam Tan Much appreciated man! Buying it tomorrow :)))
Hi I was a freshman last year and no one thought i could really take a grade 1 solo to the solo and ensemble competition, but i ended up taking moon and proving everyone wrong by taking it all the way to the state competition. Sadly the competition is cancelled, but I hope to take this next year!!
It’s been a while, how’s it going?!
@@lucscott3631 It has! I've been really good I just learned all of Strive to be Happy by Ivan Trevino ans was the section leader for my schools front ensemble!
I would love to play this for my first solo. Also, you make it look so easy when you do those lateral strokes, love your videos ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
You can definitely do it!! 😁
Beautiful.
hype, I needed a new 4.3 solo
This needs to be on a movie!!!
This is so satisfying to listen to. Thanks for another solo!! Great job!
So beautiful. This is awesome. Keep these up
wonderful, Adam! thanks for sharing your work with us :) I like the lightness of this piece... message received!
Thank you Alexander, that means a lot to me 😁
I love the style of your writing so much! I know many others have said it in the past but it really brings a Joe Hisaishi vibe, which is incredible. Keep up the great work, I had so much fun performing your duet, Flying Colours, for my school's Solo & Ensemble event. Might just have to take a look at this one for fun during this quarantine.
Thank you Shariq! I'm glad you enjoyed Flying Colours too, you guys must have sounded awesome 😁
I am so PUMPED
Absolutely beautiful as always! If I ever get the chance, maybe I’ll learn this!
This song is really soothing.
Thanks Adam ！
Thank you Takumi!!
Really moving, Adam. Thank you for posting!!
Thanks for checking it out Brian 😊
Beautiful piece Adam! The one thing I would note is that at least here in the States, one-handed rolls (at 0:24 and 3:27 in your right hand) are considered quite an advanced technique. Still an absolutely beautiful piece!
Ahhh ok, I had thought since I've seen them in some pieces marketed as "easy intermediate" that it'd be ok. at least they're slow 😅
@@AdamTanPercussion Understandable, and very fair. As a frame of reference, I will be starting my third year at university this fall studying music education, and my percussion professor hasn't even mentioned one-handed rolls yet.
Noah Gorman Music Wow that’s crazy actually, my high school percussion teacher didn’t really cover them a lot, but he helped me work on them. Almost all of my marimba solos have used one handed rolls in them...
It's beautiful!
Very beautiful Adam! Love your pieces and the content on your channel.
Thank you Dawson, I appreciate it 😁
Its so beautiful.
I love thissss💙♥️
This peace is definitely my kind of piece the place
Wow... Beautiful as ever
This is really nice. Just beautiful
Very nice, score bought as download, might go for the svitzer later. :-) thank you Adam
Thank you Kristian, I appreciate your support very much :)
Love your stuff Adam! Just got moon and now I have another piece of yours in my list
Thank you so much, I appreciate it :) enjoy playing them!
Adam Tan I will!
Beautiful!
I love the piece. Is there any way you could compose an aggressive dark piece for 4.3?
I really should!! I'll experiment a bit in the next few months haha
I would love this. 4.3 needs some more dark pieces. I would 100% buy. I’m about to buy all of your marimba solos anyway when my marimba gets shipped. I bought a DeMorrow!
This is great
I am from Taiwan.
I will use your good song "Lotus" to participate a competition.
謝謝您！祝你比賽成功😁
@@AdamTanPercussion
I also play your duo music with my friend.Hope you like it.

This is like an chinese drama ending song
Hahahaha true though
Hi from spain
I played this for my senior year spring concert, and I thought it would be a really pretty and thoughtful piece to play, but I feel bad about it because I butchered the song and forgot it because of nerves.
It's okay! You did your best at the time :)
Did you have to slap your wrist or somethjng everytime you used notes lower than 4.3 range? I always had that problem trying to write music. I really love this piece, I might consider playing at my recital next year
Ahahaha im used to it now, just have to keep telling myself low A is the end!! Hope you get a chance to perform this 😁
I keep going to this piece whenever I need a little hope during these rough, bizarre times, and I can honestly say it helps everytime. I'm hoping to be able to play Hope this year if this are back to "normal." I just wanted to ask if you know when the hard copies of it are going to become available? Thank you in advance and keep making beautiful pieces like this :)
Absolutely beautiful composition yet again. You never cease to amaze. The chords at 1:26 are really pretty are they 7th chords?
Yes 7th chords with some added notes 🤭 thank you for listening!!
Here we go again
I don't know if you noticed this but on your website, on the last paragraph of giving details on the solo, it mentions "Skyward" on accident. Hope you read this and fix it. Toodles
I will fix!! Thank you for letting me know :))
No problem
I would love to watch it right away but that is way too early for me XD
I love the peice!
could you please make a video on the best 4.3 octave marimba's, I want to buy one soon but I don't know ware to look?
Depends on what you're looking for! The Yamaha YM-1430 is one that my students have because it's small and lightweight, but if you want something more grand maybe the Marimba One Wave 4.3 :)
Thanks
Sounds like a pretty version of santaclaus is coming to town😂😂😂😂 not trying to say it sounds bad cuz its a beautifull piece, just the notes at for example 3:01 remind me of the way it sounds haha
Hey man, I have a question. So I'm what I'd consider a former marimbist(haven't had access to one for 6 yrs). I never got too into things(for example the hardest pieces I played well were Virginia Tate and rhythm song) So My issue is that someone close to me is selling a 4 octave(not 4.3) Rosewood marimba for 2000 USD. I kinda feel like that's worth jumping on but is it worth investing since it seems any decent song would be 4.3? and back when I played years ago I got used to 5 octave marimbas as well so I might just feel like I cant play anything. Thoguhts?
Thanks for the question Chase! 4 octave is super limiting nowadays when it comes to modern music. I feel like for that price you are better off getting a padouk marimba that's 4.3, as a 4.0 octave isn't really able to perform much repertoire anyway so the sound quality difference is essentially a non-factor. So your first instinct is right haha!
You could also consider saving a bit more and getting something like a Mode synthetic 5 octave marimba, at least you'll be able to play all repertoire without limitations :)
How do you play the one handed roll at the beginning and end 😅 i can get through the whole piece but I’m really struggling with those parts
adam hurrrrrryyyyyy im getting impatient >:((((((
What mallet tape do you have on those mallets? I really like the way they look and am looking to wrap my own mallets.
It's gray camo Wilson Overgrip tennis tape :)
@@AdamTanPercussion tysm!
Hey Adam I am in a rush to learn this piece in a month as a solo for indoor percussion do you have any tips how to learn music faster?
Do you have any tips for when learning this?
I'd say start extremely slow and separate hands, and work on it in small chunks. I've written the accompaniments to be consistent so once you learn the first section it should get quicker to learn as you go 😁
please get this on the pml ;-;
Gonna work on this in the next month!
Adam Tan please watch the blue devils 2014 victory run, it has the world record dci score and it’s truly amazing
This sounds like a Disney Princess theme
Easier than Moon? Count me in!
Though I'm still not adept enough at 4 mallet to play either... :(
@@jeremylin8838 You can totally do it! Start slow and with separate parts, I designed the score to be easy to read also :)
@@AdamTanPercussion Thanks a lot!
