A little marimba ditty. Originally written for solo piano, this is a beautiful piece of music composed by Philip Glass. I saw a fellow classmate do this arrangement at his percussion recital at IU and I got inspired to do it myself. Enjoy!
PS - Sorry about the loud buzzing that gets louder and louder. My MacBook decided to be a bad audience member and was making lots of noise. Hope it isn't too distracting!
Glass's pieces almost always convey a certain subtle anxiety; in this piece it's almost nonexistent, & you've captured the softness & elusiveness of that perfectly. Such a wonderful performance.
I know this is a decade old, so I'm late getting to it, but it's gorgeous.
What's really nice about your performance is that the eighth vs. triplet rhythm in the piece is probably not something often encountered by pianists, but fairly routine for percussionists. You nailed it.
Well said.
It's sensational. Like it was written for a percussionist.
I love comments like this. I am not a trained musician but am a great appreciator of music. This really helps my listening skills.
Pianists do encounter that rhythm fairly often, but not as often as I imagine percussionists do. I think a big reason is because percussionists tend to play more modern pieces which have more complex polyrhythms. in any case, it was really well communicated!
@@SamuelCEllis Technically a piano is a percussion instrument because of the hammers striking the strings.
Really very beautiful. The Marimba has such a lovely dreamlike warm poignant sound.
P.S. your website is stylish, but doesn't say much about you. Maybe that's how you want it........
that's...
fantastic
I've watched it with open mouth
Beautiful Performance young man. I hear only your magnificent music 😎🙏🍀🤙
My purest congratulations man, spend last hour playing it on piano; came here and find this: hypnotic, tribal taste and crystalline, beautiful.
(fascinated from Spain)
Fantastic! Besides your technical command of the instrument, the feeling is just right.
Sounds great, so subtle.... and what a fantastic skill one must have to play an instrument like this. Well done, Evan Chapman, I hope you record many more pieces by Philip Glass, they sound just right on marimba.
Beautiful performance! A crime that no one had decent microphones that day, Could have been a master piece!
I never used to write comments on youtube, but right now i can't help myself. That is pretty astonishing. He's got me stuck on repeat
I like how your extremely focused look contrasts the calmness of the song.
Tearjerkingly beautiful and meticulously played. My life is now complete.
I love this so much. The simple complexity of it really comes out when you can see the relationship of rhythm and tone on this instrument.
BRAVO!!!
Brilliant.This piece transfers well to this instrument.
Beautiful work. The dynamics of Glass’ solo piano works translate so amazingly to percussion. The swaying polyrhythmic flow is wonderful. Thank you.
Mesmerised by your ability to capture Philip Glass's enormously relaxing classical piece. Well done!
it´s simply beautiful - heart and soul touching - thanks!!!!!
This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen I swear
awww... warm, homesic, beautiful :')
***** i was wondering what happened to your recording of Virginia Tate? I really loved your take on it.
Mille Mercis à vous Evan pour cette interprétation qui démontre toutes les possibilités de cet instrument : les marimba. C'est léger, délicat ...votre performance rayonne et me met en joie !
Stunning my guy
Cheers for this. One of my favorite Glass pieces, and hearing it on the marimbas was magic. Brilliant!
This is really really beautiful...
this is so beautiful..
Absolutely fantastic work.
Impressive and beautiful!
I remember seeing Philip Glass in concert in '82, as he was promoting this album . . I loved it . . and oddly, there were probably about the same amount of people in the audience then as have commented here on this piece . . But that being said, it allowed me the ability to leave my seat in the back, and step right up for a great seat . . . . Now excuse me while I move on and listen to Ennio Morricone's the Good, The Bad, and the Ugly on the Sweet Potato
Kudos Evan Chapman!!!! A fantastic rendition of my favourite piece of music EVER!!
absolutely superb
Absolutely brilliant !
I played this for a recital last year...such a nice, relaxing piece.
I like this song and great performance you did.
Very good, friend.
Luv this version!
Love this piece performed on Marimba does way more justice than piano. Great job!
Bravo!!!
gorgeous song - excellent performance
Am i the only one who prefers this over the original?
So impressive. Thanks for sharing.
INCREIBLE
Spirit-soothing, lovely, thanks for posting
Holy crap! Great job!
Nice cup of tea
Beautiful
beautiful!
♥️
BRILLIANT!!
thanks a lot for this awesome performance!!
Such a nice, warm tone. Great performance, I have never watched any of your other videos, but this was a great first impression lol
magnificent!!!... i love this piece!... Thanks for share your video.
Really enjoyed this. Great piece of music, beautifully played. Found you after listening to Steve Reich's Piano Phase. Wondered if you'd give that a go if you haven't already. Either way, thank you.
Great performance and arrangement!
Finding your interpretation of this Philip Glass song as well as your arrangement of Flim by Aphex Twin has been the surprise of the day for me. Both are beautiful.
I bet Phil Glass would love this.
wow great performance!
Wonderful!
Hey man, you're awesome. This is amazing.
delightful!!!
EGGCELLENT!!! Love this piece. I play it daily on my piano. Takes some serious concentration to keep the eight-note / triplet brain math going and going. Sweet job. Congrats!!!
Lol i'm a pure shit at math and i still can play this piece that's weird :p
Its actually freakishly easy to play.
Very very nice!!!
Excelent! Bravo!
Beautiful😊
Captivating
Bravo 👏👏 semplice ma perfetta (forse la miglior cover di quelle sentite)
Stunning, thanks
really nice
WOW!
Thank you.
Superb.
Awesome!
Has anyone tried calling the phone number in the back?
+TheIronChicken interesting points ,if anyone else wants to learn about how do i build a marimba try Corbandy Simple Instrument Crusher (just google it ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my brother in law got amazing results with it.
cause it's a spam ad
TheIronChicken I wonder if anyone actually had tried
ha ha no, not yet ;-)
The amazing thing about the 812 Area Code, is that the major city of this Indiana aera is... EVANSVILLE !!!!!
Built for Evan Chapman I guess..
This is wicked cool!
Nice job! The Zeltsmans are perfect for this piece!
Awesome
Amazing!!
amazing!
thats real talent.
epic mate! was put into a trance!
excellent
La real estética de Glass, en ésta versión.....
Maravilloso
Yeah
I Just Loved All Video...
You really did a good job, and wow :) You are very good performer :)
maravillosa melodía
Can there be such beaty? Oh yes.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Muito bom, interpretou de forma majestrosa
Well done!
you hardly make mistakes but manage to play so smoothly. this is awesome, and so are your drum covers (from toe to ke$ha). you should check out the band pretend, especially the track 'these luminous noises are god' which can be found on youtube. the drumming in their music is totally tasteful and insane and I think you'd like it a lot. maybe enough to do a cover!
Heh. Noticed that 812 number in the background. I live in Bloomington too.
nice dynamics, very tricky even on piano!!
Félicitations monsieur, très belle interprétation ! j'entends la pluie ruisseler sur les carreaux, je m'endormirais bien avec ce type de mélodie. Est-ce cela que l'on appelle des arpèges ?
It does lack a bit from the bass note that would be played by the LH 5th finger
This is one of the best interpretation of the piece out there..and it is not even played by piano!...was what i was going to say after hearing about 2 minutes..but than I heared few notes misplaced at the middle. Was them intended or just mistakes? Either way, I think it would have sounded better with it, although I am not very friendly with glokenspill.(edit: marimba) It is just a little personnal opinion that I am not entirely sure about. Anyway, thank you for great music and sorry if I am not good with english.
amazing job!... which microphones are you using? the recording is so clear!
Very interesting :)
GREAT!!!!!! miauwwww
Hey I've been a fan of yours for a couple of years now, and I was wondering what happened to your recording of Virginia Tate? I really loved your take on it.
