At the melting of the snow
By Peter Mcnamara

The text for this work makes use of a lesser-known, but still beautifully depictive poem by A.B. (Banjo) Paterson of the same name, written in 1902, but not published until 1917. The poem depicts the amazing transformation that occurs during the spring of the Snowy Mountains, where the snow melts to reveal the green grasses and many varied wildflowers. Composed 2018

Baroque Bear at the Arabian Wedding Party, The
By Gina Ismene Chitty
Regular price
$50.00
For marimba, classical guitar, sleigh bells and cow bells, c.7'00
The Baroque Bear is a character from the Grunewald forest in Berlin of the early 1700s. He time travels to be a guest at a twenty first century Arabian wedding party.
The Classical guitar, representative of the Baroque Bear, reflects on his musings and gradual acceptance of the florid Arabian traditions, similar and yet dissimilar to his own musical and Bärenfamilie traditions.
At the onset he is confused by the rich and diverse Arabian music and culture, the dance rhythms, the wild abandon and the prevailing joie de vivre that seems a little removed from his own culture and music. But he quickly strikes a rapport with the beautiful bride and the groom, plodding on and cheerfully asserting his own ornamentation of decorative flourishes, trills and little arpeggiated riffs, to match the exotic dance melodies and rhythms of the lovely couple.
Composed 2020.

BirdTalk
By Peter Dart
Regular price
$50.00
For 2 marimbas and pre-recorded sound.
BirdTalk was written for the players to enjoy. The composer has no idea what the title
means. For him it was suggestive of a playful dialogue between the two marimbas and the pre-recorded sounds. The sounds are chirpy and chattering rather than obviously birdlike. The performers may interpret and play with the title as they please.
Composed 2018
Hard copy purchase includes reduced conductor's score and two marimba scores.

Chillin' in Lockdown
By Gina Ismene Chitty
Regular price
$15.00
For marimba, drum set and piano, c.2'00
This piece captures the easy and relaxed mindset of a young adolescent who is happy to experience the unexpected bonus of a longer school holiday during the Covid lockdown.
The spaces within the harmonies of the marimba and piano, and the higher sonorities reflect a ‘lightness of being’, the lightness of being released from the bondage of assignments, assessments and other school tasks.
A heady feeling, to be young, unencumbered, and thrust into vacation from the rigidities of school examinations.

Dance of the Ballerina Marionette
By Sonia Sozio
Regular price
$25.00
(Percussion, marimba, harp)
This work aims to capture the light and graceful dancing of a ballerina marionette on point who dreams to be free of her strings. She is so immersed in the music as she elegantly leaps, pirouettes and dances around the stage that she does not realise that the strings are released from her arms and legs in the last three bars of the piece.
