The Yuletide Marimbist, Book 1 was created to fill a void in Christmas literature for 4-mallet solo marimba. Spanning a wide range of styles, these arrangements are suitable for diverse performance venues – both sacred and secular. Only a 4 1/3-octave marimba is necessary, but cue notes are provided throughout for extended range if you have access to a 5-octave instrument. With one exception ("O Holy Night"), all of the arrangements are flexible in that they may be repeated one or more times by utilizing ending repeats or "D.S./D.C." indication. The book includes performance notes and mallet suggestions for each solo.
