This is a very beautiful and serene composition, and the whole backdrop to this video is just stunning! I really liked this performance and this piece was played beautifully.
John Horde if you are still looking for good beginner pieces through moderate check out mark fords book. I can’t quite remember the name but it contains things like fry, Manhattan, Kain, and stone man.
@@spookiedukey its called technique through music by mark ford, contains some beginner pieces like fry and oakland,. i started out with those and they're great for beginners who want to start learning 4 mallets. ;)
Always thought this solo sounded better in the 4.3 octave range than its original 5 octave version. It makes it much more vibrant and dreamlike that way
this sounds gorgeous!! usually i find it pretty difficult to take simpler 4 mallet pieces and make them sound super musical and good, and this is probably the best job i've ever seen anyone do with a piece like this.
I love how you played this! You looked comfortable playing it and looked like you were having fun with the music! I was wondering where you found the sheet music. I'd love to play this for my next semester in college. 🖤🖤🖤
friendly recommendation: if you're going to use burton grip, I would wrap the mallet shafts in grip tape, or be sure your back three fingers are always applying the right amount of pressure, in order to get rid of those pesky "stick clicks". otherwise, nice recording!
Burton grip on the marimba! #becausemusic Great playing girl, keep it up and come to PASIC the next time it's in San Antonio so maybe we can see you perform??? [=
I know u are sick of me but I need to mention the original version is longer. This version is played an octave higher and has bits cut out from it to make it shorter. I prefer this version much more than the original . Props to you.
Hi! i thought you performed this piece beautifully, and from reading other comments you've changed the music to fit a 4.3 octave marimba. I was really wondering if i could get the sheets for your version :O
I just found this today, and I can't stop coming back to it because it's so expressive and beautiful!! Fantastic job :) If I may ask, do you know where I could find/buy sheet music for it? (without it being $30, but if that's the lowest, then so be it). I'm asking so I have an opinion on where the cheapest place could be. Thanks! :)

Hi! I love the performance! Quick question, are you playing that an octave higher than written? Because I watched other performances and it sounds an octave lower. I'm not criticizing you, I just wanted to know because i only have a 4.3 octave marimba available and I would love to play that piece an octave higher if it was possible!
Omg how many times did you have to play this piece to make this video?? There are like 500 different aesthetic video shots put over a studio-recorded clip
Actually she is using a grip called traditional grip, it was the first 4 mallet grip created and it differs from burton in the way that the mallets are split and the way they are stacked, if you want to look at specifics, here is a link, www.uh.edu/~tkoozin/projects/WanHwaLow/Overview.html
I think she is using traditional because her outer mallet is coming out of in-between her middle finger and pointer, where as Burton comes out of her ring and middle.
rhineheart of the abyss she is using a lot of forearm... to fix this i would practice using only your wrist and try to sound as best as possible. Forearm is used to move around the board but you should use your wrist rotation to actually hit the mallet. If you ever study Stevens grip this is even more important
The only thing that bothers me, and i dont know how professional she is so im not going to judge harshly, but as ive started to prefer stevens more than burtons, the rattan click of burtons bothers me. So i prefer to stick with stevens.
I say this as im looking for solos to perform and my Director hates the rattan click so if we use burtons we have to practice in order to not get the click. I mean nothing harsh by this comment ^.^
I've always wanted to just roll a Marimba into the middle of nowhere and just play
Literally same
Get a field marimba with rosewood bars
Chris Haight me too
Oh man, if only
Lets admit it, it sounds like an anime intro/outro.
A really freaking good anime intro/outro
I wouldn't say its an intro, but It would be more like a layering song (e.g. You Say Run From BNHA)
I've been listening to this song on repeat for two days straight... ;___; it's so good....
This is a very beautiful and serene composition, and the whole backdrop to this video is just stunning! I really liked this performance and this piece was played beautifully.
Thank you so much, i'm very glad you liked it ☺️
+samantha binotti Hey please... I need the sheet music I love it really! Good job :) goma-8@hotmail.es
I've just listened to it and it's so amazing! I love that!!😍
Such a beautiful piece, and beautifully played as well, definitely next on my list to learn!
Certainement l'une des plus belles pièces que j'ai écouter au marimba 4 baguettes. Bravo, superbement interprétée!
Rather fascinating technique and such a cute song to play, as well! Bravo! Also gotta love the scenery~
Very simple and very direct scoring; but very captivating and fulfilling to the listener. Keep up the great arrangements!!! Bravo.
Lovely music played with true passion creates serenity !!!
This is such a cool piece. It also seems like a good piece to start off with four mallets. I usually try to stick with two or three

Gosh that was wonderful, I really needed that right now. You sound at home on that instrument. Thanks for sharing.

Molto bello, brava Samantha.
This sounds awesome!! I recently wrote a piece for marimba and it is definitely a very challenging instrument to write for.
Beautifully preformed. First time I saw this I wanted to play the piece and am now performing it at my college senior recital. Great Job!
Thank you very much Matt! :)
You're very welcome!
This piece is so beautiful.

I love this.

I love marimba❤️ I’m playing this song and I love it❤️☺️
MUY LINDA LA MELIDIA EN VERDAD ME AGRADO MUCHO ME ISO FELIZ
beautiful piece

Or dont play burton grip ;)
@@LeeNashMusic burton grip kinda nice though, I feel like I have a lot more control over each hit
Or take off the jewelry.
I love it ❤️💆
That's cool I love the rhythm I play the harp this would sound great with the harp. Very nice.
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!
So beautiful
bravissima!!!!
Just bought the sheets for this! Can't wait to work it up!
My percussion instructor would kill me if I used that many downstrokes. But still, you played it beautifully
Locdogg - Piano same bro
I mean, she has a degree, so at this point she can play how she wants, lol
I don't think burtons grip allows you to do rebound strokes
Manasseh Johnson I use the same technique and I can So I don’t think what ur saying is true
@@charlottelei7536 thats my bad then
Grande Sami!!!
Beautiful
Wow I loved
I listened to some plays of this tune on UA-cam, but this is the best to me! Even better than the composer.
Burton grip on the marimba! #becausemusic Great playing girl, keep it up and come to PASIC the next time it's in San Antonio so maybe we can see you perform??? [=
Im love music is April Sky❤
merci pour cette belle musique :)
Thank you Paul! 😊
samantha binotti please send me the sheets to this amazing writing I don't own a 5 octave marimba -jnacksoccer9@gmail.com
i bought this piece to perform for my school
Amei!!!
How can I get my hands on this beautiful piece! I'd love to play this!
Why so perfect? ♥♥ I loved !!
Thank you Lucas😊😊
+Lucas Monteiro no, this is the first one but i hope to publish other as soon as possible
MORE PLEASE =D
This piece was performed beautifully. Can someone link me to the sheet music for this please? Thanks!
+Vikki Wan www.steveweissmusic.com/product/april-sky-lin/marimba-solo (this is the original version for 5 octave marimba)
The piece is so beautiful! Where did you find the sheet music for 4.3 marimba?
There's no such thing-- this artist performed the entire piece up an octave from what's written.
Not even that. Where did she find the sheet music period. I wanna learn it so badlyyyyyy
@@chiefidk I bought it at crescendo music.
HOW IS SHE WEARING A RING AND PLAYING
beyond me
I mean, since she's using burton grip the ring shouldn't bother her
I wear my rings while I play. Just depends on the piece and the grip.
Nice !
I know u are sick of me but I need to mention the original version is longer. This version is played an octave higher and has bits cut out from it to make it shorter. I prefer this version much more than the original . Props to you.
This is such a beautiful composition. The background and texture is perfect. Where did you get the sheet music if you dont mind me asking?
watch the clicking mallets when holding in burton. heard it a few times.
Creo que me enamore de la chica que toca y de la melodia tambien
❤️

@@samanthabinotti1064 Awesome, that's exactly the question I was asking myself! ✌️👍
amazing Perfomance!
say, what grip do you use? kinda looks like traditional, I can't really see it all too well though.
+Your Waifu Hi, thank you! I use the Burton grip! :)
+samantha binotti i see. Thanks for the info
2:32 is the best part!
Nice middle school solo, easy for middle schoolers
😢😢😢😢🤙👏👏👏👏❤
I want the sheet music for this so badly :'(
Steve Weiss Music has it for $22
Love the song and cinematography, wish you would have used Stevens grip yhoigh
Omg how many times did you have to play this piece to make this video?? There are like 500 different aesthetic video shots put over a studio-recorded clip
Hello, where can I get the score?
Does anyone know what type of mallets those are?
Dynamics? Also what´s up with not counting through most rests and guessing the time
Interperatarion of the preformer I guess. It's not good to always stick with only the sheet music
I love that you can her breathing. But I think that it's a pity that you can also hear the sticks clashing. Still this is very uplifting!
what type of mallets do you use???
Alex Perez theese could be some kind of MarimbaOne mallets
Nora Takacs They appear to be the Katarzyna Mycka series if I remember correctly... I hope I'm spelling that right.
Where can I get your recordings?
como puedo conseguir la partitura? gracias 😄
Is she using Burton grip?
ya
Actually she is using a grip called traditional grip, it was the first 4 mallet grip created and it differs from burton in the way that the mallets are split and the way they are stacked, if you want to look at specifics, here is a link,
www.uh.edu/~tkoozin/projects/WanHwaLow/Overview.html
No that's definitely Burton. You can see it pretty clearly in her hand at 1:40
definitely burton's
I think she is using traditional because her outer mallet is coming out of in-between her middle finger and pointer, where as Burton comes out of her ring and middle.
where can i buy this piece?
www.percussion-brandt.de/epages/228483.sf/de_DE/?ObjectID=9191411
I just don't know if they sell to other countries.
What type of mallets are you using?
They are Marimba One Katarzyna Mycka mallets
What grade is this piece
What mallets are those?
Is this on a 5 oct marimba?
i believe the sheets from the original composer are written for 5 octave but this is for 4.3
What hardness are the mallets?
Lift
Excuse me, do you have a score?🙏
Work on your downstrokes and lifts but I like your right hand grip does it have a name or is it just interpretive? very beautiful playing
+Jason Rs Looks like she's using Burton's grip, but I could be wrong.
+Claire P she is indeed using Burton's grip
"work on your down strokes, btw how do you do that?"
The mallets are pretty far back for burtons grip but I guess that's a style preference
rhineheart of the abyss she is using a lot of forearm... to fix this i would practice using only your wrist and try to sound as best as possible. Forearm is used to move around the board but you should use your wrist rotation to actually hit the mallet. If you ever study Stevens grip this is even more important
Idk if it's the style but if I used this many downstrokes my professor would kill me
She's playing that marimba like it's a drum
We can do a trade if it makes it better. I have "wind" by the same composer. I'll send it to you
why all the down strokes?
Daniel Jungwirth lol first thing I noticed
Please pass me the sheet!!
Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷🇵🇷 Beautiful interpretation and very good technique. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Good recording,lol.
hello my name is marcelo and I'm from Venezuela and I'm poor and it was to know if the parties could give me please
I too love the sound of traditional grip. Especially when the sticks click in the middle of nowhere and the tone is ruined.
The only thing that bothers me, and i dont know how professional she is so im not going to judge harshly, but as ive started to prefer stevens more than burtons, the rattan click of burtons bothers me. So i prefer to stick with stevens.
I say this as im looking for solos to perform and my Director hates the rattan click so if we use burtons we have to practice in order to not get the click. I mean nothing harsh by this comment ^.^
Just wrap the mallet handles with flesh tape. Such as Nexcare waterproof first aid tape. It’s $3.40 at Target.
Lol technique
What technique. I can only see shit
lmAO why is this outside u dont need sexy effects to show ur a good marimba player lol
That sounds to much heavy sounds...
