Program Notes

Review

This two-mallet vibraphone solo for the beginning player is a joyous theme-and-variations in 3/4. The variations include a jazz waltz variation in one, a rhythmically syncopated variation and an arpeggiated melodic variation. Mancini indicates that pedaling should be done at the discretion of the performer; generally, pedaling each measure seems to work, with a few exceptions. The work also allows the performer to develop his or her musical vocabulary due to the various dynamics and phrase markings employed.
