Yellow after the Rain....just kidding. :P

In reality though, a really cool piece I started to learn but never finished was one called "Rain Dance" by Alice Gomez (I think).

:silly:

I was going to say yellow after the rain too, but I was afraid someone would take it seriously.....

Most anything by Keiko Abe.

Maybe a souped up Bach Lute Suite, or something of that nature.

Two Mexican Dances by Gordon Stout (or some of his others)

Or how about Rhythm Song by Mr. Musser himself.

Just a few ideas.

Flight of the Bumble Bee

That won me a couple of 1st's in the 70's. It freaks people out when they can't see your hands. Still, even though I snuck in some 4 and 6 mallet stuff, I don't know if that tune is fitting for the type of style that they focus on these days.

Rhythm Song was by Paul Smadbeck...which I was would suggest:

Virginia Tate by Paul Smadbeck

Shadow Chasers: Micheal Burritt

Caritas: Micheal Burritt

Polaris: Mark Ford

Ultimatum: Nebojsa Zivkovic

Valse Serbe: Nebojsa Zivkovic ( VERY challeging 2 mallet solo w/ piano accompnyment, but can still be done without the pianist)

November Evening: Christopher Norton

Footpath: Dave Samuels

Great Wall: L.H.Stevens

Rhythmic Caprice: L.H.Stevens

Astral Dance : Gordon Stout

Merlin: Thomas

Northern Lights:

Etude in C Major : Musser (for something short,sweet and to the point)

Any of the Keiko Abe works... (Prism is a good solid 2 mallet peice and there's Prism Rhapsody witch features six mallets and is concerto based on the Prism)

These are just some suggestions. I hope you find what you are looking for.
