This isn't a drum question, but I know there are plenty of all-around percussionists on here, too. I recently bought a marimba (4.3 octave low A), and I'm looking for music to play on it. After browsing sites such as Sheet Music Plus, it seems almost everything out there is either for the beginner or an epic 10-minute Grade 6 recital piece. Is there anything in the middle? In college, I played some of the standards such as Rain Dance, Yellow After the Rain, Sea Refractions, and others such as Suite Mexicana, Mbira Song, and Rhythm Song. Any ideas? Of those, I think Rain Dance is the closest to what I'm looking for.
Or am I just going to have to write my own? I have a bunch of easy piano books that should adapt to intermediate marimba pretty easily. I'd just rather spend the time I have for music actually playing an instrument than arranging.
