In our exclusive lesson series, world renowned composer and performer Ney Rosauro demonstrates the grip that he uses on both Marimba and Vibraphone. Developed during an extensive performing career, Ney's "Extended Cross Grip" combines the advantages of the Burton grip (power, speed and ease of learning) with the Musser/Stevens grip (independence, flexibility and wide interval range). In addition, the Extended Cross Grip applies instantly to all keyboard and multi-percussion instruments, making it the most effective way to play with four mallets.

A native of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Ney has developed a successful international career as a percussionist, composer and pedagogue. He is an immensely popular composer of percussion concerti with an average of 150 performances each year by distinguished orchestras and wind ensembles worldwide. His numerous compositions and method books have become standards in the percussion repertoire and his CDs have been hailed by critics, percussionists and general music-lovers alike.

As soloist and pedagogue he has presented courses, solo concerts and performances with orchestras in around the world.

“The Song of Trees”, by Keiko Abe

Performed by Felix Reyes

Video: Four/Ten Media
http://fourtenmedia.net

___


ABOUT THE PIECE:

"The Song of Trees shows the strong energy of a big tree, floating and falling leaves, and finally the joy of the rise of the shutes. The basic theme of this piece is to feel the whole life of the tree. After the short sequence, suddenly the theme appears showing the existence of the big tree. Then the theme is divided into each phrase changing the form. One phrase is sung quietly and the other is showing the energy which gradually increases the power and reaches the climax. The phrases are as if they are showing the birth of the young tree. Finally the short coda brings back to the fragment of the first theme."

A Sense of Place, based on artworks by Cecil Knotes
by Peter Klatzow

1. The Mask
2. Shaka´s Victory Dance

Performed by:
Dr. Neil Sisauyhoat, marimba
Susan Sturman, cello

-----

MALLETS:
#vfM122, M123: Robert Van Sice Signature Multi-Tonal Mallets
http://vicfirth.com/robert-van-sice/

-----

ABOUT THE PIECE:
A Sense of Place by Peter Klatzow brings together marimba and cello in a dark, brooding duet. Written to highlight the marimba's African roots against the classical sound of a cello, this piece was inspired by two artworks by Cecil Knotes.

The composition is written in a style that emphasizes what each instrument does best - the marimba plays flurries of notes across its range while maintaining rhythmical pulse, and the cello sings its lyrical lines overtop this wooden base.

Klatzow blends traditional tonality with a comfortable amount of 'other' colors that will appeal to casual and academic audiences alike.

ABOUT THE PERFORMERS:
Dr. Neil Sisauyhoat is a versatile performer and educator specializing in classical, contemporary, Afro-Cuban, and Brazilian percussion. He holds the position of Assistant Professor of Percussion at Del Mar College in Corpus Christi, Texas, and is on the faculty of the Summer Music Clinic in Madison, Wisconsin.
