Six of One (2017)

Publisher: Chad Floyd Publications

Level: Med-Advanced

Duration: 5:10

Personnel: 6

Instr: bells, 2 vibes, 3 mar.

Price: $45

This mallet sextet requires bells, two vibraphones, and three marimbas (two 4.3 octaves and one 5 octave). With the exception of the bells, all parts require the use of four-mallet technique. Based solely on one motivic idea (the opening motive on marimba) the majority of the piece was written over my spring break in 2017 and then finished over the summer. The premiere performance was given by The Florida State University Freshmen Sextet (Dr. John W. Parks IV, director) in the fall of 2017.
