AT A GLANCE:
KEY: D dorian
TIME: 4/4
RHYTHM: a basic rhythmic idea holds this work together.
TECHNICAL: This piece was designed to be played on multiple marimbas [3 standard marimbas and 1 bass] however it still works with a smaller number of instruments by placing parts on the same marimba at different octaves. If no bass is available, play on a standard marimba at the lower end - if notes are out of range transpose up or down the octave.
PERFORMANCE/TEACHING NOTES
Guava is a spellbinding piece that is challenging and fun to play. Be sure to choose a tempo that all players are comfortable with so that the beat stays stead and rhythm is accurate throughout.
