Fiddle Tunes for Marimba

Accompaniment - []

Fiddle Tunes for Marimba is a collection of old-time American, Scottish, Irish, and English fiddle tunes transcribed for two-mallet marimba or xylophone with four-mallet marimba accompaniment. The fiddle tunes included in the collection were selected to introduce percussionists and mallet players to the rich traditions of American and European folk-dance music. The challenging two-mallet tune melodies work well as technical studies that are fun to play._x000D_
