- As one of the most famous songs of all time, "Over the Rainbow" from The Wizard of Oz is a timeless treasure. In this arrangement for solo marimba, Robert Oetomo combines jazzy harmonies, quasi improvisation, and classical romantic influences to create a rendition that is mysterious, lyrical, and remains as heartwarming as the original.
Music composed by: Harold Arlen
Arranged for marimba and performed by: Robert Oetomo

This solo first caught my attention when I was 13, I had just started marching band and was looking for a solo to play. This was clearly out of my league at the time and I dreamed of being able to play it. I thought this is something only a professional could play. Yesterday, I preformed it and received a perfect score. I couldn't be happier and it's all because of this.
this makes me so happy. i was in the exact same position 8 years ago, but i never actually learned the piece. props to you

This type of stuff inspires yet intimidates me at the same time as a musician
I liked this comments 2 years ago and I still feel the same way lol. When I see something performed so well for some reason I get intimidated and idk why. Like why don't I just think positively ike "wow i'm going to get that good one day" or something
oh ok why do i see you everywhere
Bro I'm playing this right now, hard af, but so pretty
I love having this guy as a conductor
@@denimholman9829 is it? I’m thinking about playing this for next yr solo and ensemble, I’m playing my first 4 mallet solo this year
You move across the marimba like water. It's honestly one of the most beautiful songs I've ever seen.
Proud to say I finally performed this piece my senior year. I dreamed of playing it since 8th grade. I am from TX so UIL solo and ensemble is a very big thing. I was the first in school history to attempt it. I not only got the Division 1 but also an outstanding performer award. Found my success over the rainbow. 🎶
That's fantastic, Joshua! Congratulations!!
Ayyyy, I got the OP award as well for playing reflections on the natures of water
Playing this piece is probably the best I’ve ever felt when playing marimba
I've been watching a lot of marimba videos on youtube. There are so many wonderful players and composers/arrangers, but Robert Oetomo's arrangement of Over the Rainbow is one of the most brilliant and beautiful arrangements I've ever heard for marimba. Well done.
1hotday1 if you like this you'll love pure imagination on marimba. I can't remember who performs it but give it a search you won't be disappointed
This has to be one of the most relaxing instruments ever made.
That marimba is gorgeous and the song too. This guy is so graceful as well.
OMG....So beautiful........just close your eyes...... 5 mintues......hold your tablet.......feel the vibrations......hear the music in your soul.......just let yourself go there...
I can see why I keep seeing this arrangement in the popular sections of steve weiss and lone star percussion. Gorgeous, masterfully arranged. I look forward to seeing what else Oetomo does in the future.
man i remember watching this 8 years ago thinking this was the damn epitome of marimba. now high school kids are performing this for UIL and i can’t believe the skill ceiling these kids have now. amazing, truly
This is the first marimba solo I think I've fallen absolutely in love with, definitely buying this and I hope I'll be able to perform it this well
His sound is very very soft, tender and beautiful. I love his sound and music.
I just played this for solo ensemble today and got top marks. Thanks to Mr. Oetomo for arranging this beautiful piece!
It's one thing to hear this on video but it's just so much more to hear it in real life. Although I have never heard Rob play this particular song, I've heard a few of his songs live and I just want to say; playing just the notes is only half of any performance, it's just as important to compose yourself and flow with the music, as you can see him do so in this video. I'm really happy I can have this inspiring man as my conductor, if you ever get the chance to hear his performances live, I recommend you do.
The dynamic control is so insane how does this guy do it
That marimba and his technique are beautiful!
I've watched this at least 50 times and I love it each time
2:31 is by far the best part of this arrangement. Very beautiful, I'm in love.

M a s t e r p i e c e.
This takes me home to Kansas.
Thank You.
Beautifully executed, Rob!
I wanna play this😍
Out of the masses or "robots" who bang without any understanding a multitude of notes, some of which even call themselves professionals, - Finally a musician on marimba!!
Quit meatriding
I AM CRYING.
It is so good to hear beautiful melodies such as Rainbow played by a fine musician. There is so much "new age' stuff on
UA-cam with college groups that play music that goes no where and says nothing.. Thanks for your offering! Paul
A beautiful music. I'm a percussionist, but sadly my concert band only have a cheap glockenspiel, and I never seen and played a vibraphone or a marimba in real life
Absolutely fking flawless
Great performance! I always struggled with mallets in my teens and twenties and never got the hang of four mallets. How cool would it be to pick it back with a goal to learn this piece someday. Beautiful piece and amazing performance. Very moving and inspiring!
I’m here 4 years later to tell you to not give up! I bought a marimba when I was 38 to pick up where I left off in my early 20s❤️
Erstklassig, Bravo !!
crazy that i learned this freshman year, now performing it at solo and ensemble as a sophomore cant wait to play this absolutly stunning solo in front of a judge
Well done.
big BRAVO my friend!
Best regards!
Great job mate!
I have come back watched this video a countless number of times. Each and every time has been 4 minutes and 56 seconds of absolute pure bliss. I can’t express enough how grateful I am that this piece exists, it’s absolutely my favorite marimba solo of all time. Thank you.
I even love this solo so much that I got it for myself and am currently learning it. It’s almost even more fun to learn than to listen to; it’s just such a well put-together piece of music that I am, without a doubt, looking forward to getting to fully learn and perform all the way through. I just love it so damn much :,)
I have learned all of the notes and am working on getting more musicality/technique into what I’m playing. Sadly I currently don’t have access to a 5-octave marimba, so I’ve just been using my piano to learn the notes and get things like tempo down. Playing it on a real marimba is a different story though, some of the chords are a pain to reach for (even with long arms!) but that probably comes with not having played on a marimba for months. Can’t wait to be able to play it fluidly!
@@NoahAlbrecht the graduated keys and huge intervals are what makes the marimba an instrument that requires extra attention.
if you want to practice, you can play the stuff that you cannot play an octave up, then just be aware of the larger gaps when you transition to a full 5 octave.
i played this and got best of the day!
Nothing so beautiful compared to this
loooooove
