  Easy Duets Volume 2 contains five easy duets for any combination of 2 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 Flyin’, Saturday Morning and Hope to see you again is very well suited with the addition of bass and/or drums (bass part can be found at the end of the booklet).

  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.
Reviews +
- Daniel Berg’s mallet duets is just what you need as a percussion teacher. The music Daniel writes fulfilled a huge gap in percussion litterature, it’s inspiring for both teachers and students to work with this material. The music connects old traditional music with more modern music that sounds familiar to the student. If I could recommend one composer for bringing out mallet music it must be Daniel Berg, his music is inspiring juvels that you can´t miss.
