Easy Duets Volume 4 contains five easy duets for any combination of mallet instruments such as the vibraphone, xylophone or marimba. All five duets use a 3-octave range from F to F. The duets can be played on the same instruments however, it is preferable for part 1 to be played on vibraphone and for part 2 to be played on marimba.
The duets can also be played as ensemble pieces. Double each parts depending on the number of players and instruments available. Pieces such as Rockin’, Cosmos and Song in my heart are very well suited with the addition of bass and/or drums (bass part can be found at the end of the booklet).
Easy Duets Vol. 1, 2 and 3 are previously published by Edition Svitzer. The books have been very well received among young students and teachers around the world.
With Vol. 4, I now choose to finish the series Easy Duets. Many thanks for all the inspiration from students and teachers. Hope to see you again at the mallet stage round the world!

About the composer +
-
Daniel Berg is a Swedish composer, musician, and professor in classical percussion at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and at the Academy of music and drama in Gothenburg.
In his passion to promote the marimba as a solo- and chamber music instrument, Daniel has worked intimately with a number of composers who have written original music for the instrument. This includes more than 300 world premier for solo and chamber works. Daniel Berg is a marimba artist of Bergerault and Elite Mallets.
As a composer Daniel has written a lot for solo marimba like Mistral (for Michael Burritt), Phoenix (for Robert van Sice) and Yán Jiâng (for the Taiwan World Percussion Competition). His music for percussion ensemble have been appreciated and often performed like Kroumata (for sextet) and Arctic Nights (for quintet) - all published by Edition Svitzer.
