Grapes Grandma

Michael Charles Smith

Medium Marimba solo

Instrumentation: Marimba—low A

Michael Charles Smith wrote and dedicated Grapes Grandma to Shirley B. Smith, his grandmother, who was a source of inspiration and support throughout his life. True to Smith’s style, this piece requires even single alternating strokes for the perpetual triplets in the left hand. A strong sense of balance is also required so the beautiful melody in the right hand is clearly emphasized. This piece is a must for anyone looking to develop their sense of melody and accompaniment without playing repetitious exercises!

Grapes Grandma ships in a printed, professionally bound folio with a full color cover.
