Medium Duet for Marimba and Voice

Deux Trois Souvenirs is a charming, medium-difficulty duet for marimba and voice by Nathan Smith. Set to a French poem by lyricist Erella Atlan, it explores a longing, nostalgic attitude towards past romance. The lighthearted waltz style creates a relaxed and serene atmosphere, reminiscent of the French countryside.

The piece primarily consists of a playful marimba accompaniment underneath a colorful, lyrical voice line. Smith invites the performers to develop their expressive musicianship, balancing the lead-vs-follow nature of the waltz. This is a wonderful addition to solo or duet recitals for percussionists and vocalists alike!
