Lullaby

Kyle H. Peters

Medium-Advanced Marimba solo

Instrumentation:

• Marimba— low A

Lullaby by Kyle H. Peters is a beautiful new piece for solo marimba. Written for a 4.3-octave (low A) instrument, it evokes sweetness, beauty, and determination by way of modern 4-mallet techniques and a contemporary harmonic language.

Its lyricism is not achieved through rolling or sustained figures, but rather, nuanced and well crafted interplay between the hands that, when played well, will look effortless, despite the skill needed to communicate the music. While Lullaby will require technical sensitivity and musical restraint, it will reward listeners with a rich experience that wonderfully showcases the sonic capabilities of the marimba.

Lullaby ships as a printed, professionally-bound folio with a full-color cover.
