Sea Refractions by Mitchell Peters has rolls in the beginning, though there is some independent parts in the second half. I am not quite sure on the level of difficulty. If you wanted to buy it you could probably get it from Steven Weiss Music.

You could also do the lead part from Xylophonia... That isn't an easy part

You beat me to suggesting Xylophonia, John! That's a great choice, but be aware that it's exposed (more so than a marimba solo probably would be) and requires solid roll technique.

HI! Everyone

I'm currently marching with a DCA Drum Corps. I looking for a great solo to do at the DCA Individual & Ensemble in September? Any good solos that can help me place high in the individual competition. I"m open to any recommendation...

Parody by Jesse Monkman, its a four-mallet marimba solo.

Ilijah by Zivkovic, another four-mallet marimba solo.

If you need 2-mallet, I have no idea.

Check out some Keiko Abe for four mallet solos. I did "Michi". Good stuff.

Here's a marimba rep list put together by Bill Moersch.

Maybe try some Musser etudes.

A great 4 mallet solo that you can play with 2 mallets is "Rendezvous" by Dave Samuels. Dave Samuels being the great vibraphonist for Spyro Gyra and also writing "Square Corners" for the 91 Cavaliers Percussion Ensemble at I&E. They got a perfect 100 that year. Another one you could play is Chopins "Fantasie Impromptu". Thats a hard one...really fast.

Elizabeth, as far as pieces for I&E at DCA, you could play some of the pieces I did at I&E when I was in DCI.

Dream of the Cherry Blossoms by Keiko Abe. Really difficult though. Or Cinas Amerindias by Ney Rosauro-an equally difficult piece for keyboard and multi-percussion. Michi is good too. Played that one in high school.

Hey! Bernie_Pit

Its me Elizabeth. thanks for those ideals. But where can i buy them at?
