Classe di Strumenti a Percussione del Conservatorio di Musica di Potenza. Docente Nunzio Pietrocola. Eulalia Varricchio e Luciano Brancati eseguono Carousel by David Friedman and Dave Samuels duo per marimba e vibrafono.
I want to share what this piece means to me. I found this piece 5 years ago back when I was still in high school looking for marimba duos to play for my last Spring concert. I loved playing the marimba, it was my escape from the stress of school and from my parent’s who fought and argued every night. I would sometimes play during lunch and stayed after school a few times just to get lost with the instrument. My friend and I ended up playing 2+1 by Ivan Trevino for the concert, but this piece was a close second. After I graduated, it became impossible to get on a marimba like I used to since they’re so expensive and I decided to pursue an engineering degree. So instead, I bought a digital piano and made it my outlet to keep playing. I’m 23 years old now, finishing my degree, and while looking through old photos I began finding and binging all the marimba solos and ensembles that I used to listen to and I’m so glad I did. This one specifically transported me back into the drum room where I used to play and it hit me with so much nostalgia. I can’t even describe the feeling I get when I listen to this.. it’s like I reconnected with my younger self. Specially since these past months have been rough and I haven’t been feeling like myself much lately, so it means a lot to me. What I love the most is how the dark, rich, wooden timbre of the marimba mix so well with the bright tones of the vibraphone. I miss these instruments so much. I don’t know how or when, but one day I hope to afford them. Thanks for reading! ❤️
You know what? I am absolutely convinced that you should prioritize the marimba quite high in your life. Your story is wonderful and I have also a strong connection especially to this video. But you have already the skills and urge to get back to playing the marimba. So do it! This is one of these things your friends and family might not understand, but it could turn out to become a really bad life regret, not following your inner voice. Go out there and scout the market. Try to find a used high quality instrument. Whatever. Just do it! This is direct command! Your will never regret making „this mistake“! 😂
I've stumbled into the beautiful section of RU-vid again. Been here for hours. This is an incredible arrangement. Excellent camera work. I loved watching her eyes around 2:30.
I remember when I found this a long time ago and I tried finding it again because I thought the concept was just so interesting and the music was enchanting. Found it, and I'm adding this to my playlist. Such a charming duo!
The precision, concentration, and artistry is incomparable. I imagine that even the wood flooring is resonating with these two astonishingly skilled genuises. Mui Bonito!!
I close my eyes while this plays.. tears tell me that as long as people can be this creative, everything will work out - i might not be here, but it will be okay..
Cross grip is a perfectly legitimate grip, especially for vibes. While it's true that most performers either use traditional or Stevens grip for marimba, the performer can use any grip she's comfortable using. With all those doubles in the right hand, I'd say she made a good choice.
Complimenti. Vi ho ascoltato ieri sera dal vivo in piazza Gorizia a Potenza. Bravissimi:::: Esecuzione stupenda. Musica soave. Eccezionali. Bravi:!!!!!!
I like the tonal differences between wood and metal idiophones. You can see the metalsustain verses the woodenlow dynamic, however both of these players are limited by the unidirectional arm (side of the brain hemispheres) tools. Occasionally you see videos of players switching the melodyboard opposite (like riding fakie/switch on a snowboard).
muy bonito el vibrafono pero el orígen de este instrumento es la marimba originaria de Guatemala unos grandes artistas con grandes destrezas mayores a esto
There are different grips that can be used to play four mallets. In this video the performers are using the burton grip. I was taught the stevens grip. There is no right or wrong grip to use, although there is an ongoing debate on which is the best grip to use. It is a personal thing that each has to figure out for themselves.
I was watching videos with David Friedman(the son of Milton Friedman) about libertarianism and I got suggested this video,I thought he also played this instrument but it looks like it was a misunderstanding lmao.
I have something to admit. Throughout grade-school for music class everyone had to either play an instrument or sing solo/duet/etc for a few songs. I went 4 years without doing either. And here I am watching people play with two mallets per hand... and hear that you can play with even more per hand. WTF. I am so musically illiterate that it isn't funny.
Well if you really want to study music, nothing hold you back. Start by learning about chromatic and diatonic scales, and you will quickly become quite good. (at the condition of working everyday, or nearly).
indiscutibilmente bravi ma secondo la mia opinione sono solo tecnici non non sento la passione e il divertimento in quello che fanno quindi solo macchine x far musica la musica stà nel nostro animo e non è solo tecnica ma qualcosa di più profondo Se mi sbaglio accetto commenti differenti x potermi confrontare con chi non la pensa come me
