Movement III: Moondance
by Steven Beall
$25
Moondance is the third movement of a 5-movement suite, Calico Dreams for Marimba and Guitar. Although the entire suite has not yet been published, the composer Steven Beall has decided to start down that path by publishing Moondance as a stand-alone piece. Mr. Beall performed this piece on guitar with Andrew Beall on marimba at a very special house-concert in Salt-Lake City in 2005.

Advanced Rhythm Studies
by Samuel Solomon
$15
Advanced Rhythm Studies is a training ground for percussionists to hone their understanding and execution of poly- and syncopated rhythms. Using marching as reference, these studies develop and drill the basic vocabulary of rhythm, starting with simple and gradually building to very complex material. Although much of this course of study is very challenging, in this format you will find it to be approachable, engaging, highly effective, and even fun to play.

His CD London Fix received an award in the 2004 Prix Ars Electronica.
