Program Notes

Review

This method book for beginning to intermediate xylophone contains 12 brief solos that are idiomatic to the xylophone. Zivkovic composes in a lyrical, musical fashion--even for beginners! Occasional double stops challenge the intermediate student (such as his III "Alla Pollacca"). Number VII is typically Eastern European in its content with Zivkovic's use of alternating meters of 5/8, 7/8, 2/4, and 9/8, etc. Sticking challenges are also presented in such etudes as IX "Dee-Diddle-Doo" with the use of paradiddle stickings in a 4/4 meter with sixteenth notes, and Zivkovic's lyricism is demonstrated in his XII "Lamento." Congratulations to Nebojsa Zivkovic for his continuing attention to the need for intermediate repertoire for the xylophone and marimba.
