New Day by Christos Rafalides, Thana Alexa, Theodor Milkov
This piece is groove oriented. I highly recommend practicing it with a metronome with sixteenth-note subdivisions. The feel should be funky, and make you want to tap your feet! Only section C is lyrical and laid back, to create a contrast with the rest of the piece.
The piece may be performed by a singing marimbist, or by a marimbist joined by a singer (or even a melodic instrument). It’s also fine to play it as a marimba solo.
