By George Frock
Percussion Ensemble Marimba (4-mallet) (marimba (4-octave)) - medium

SKU: CN.05910

Composed by George Frock. Duration 4:15. Published by C. Alan Publications (CN.05910).

Seventh Tries is a composition written for four-mallet marimba performance. The title is derived from the extensive use of major 7th chords.

Frock explores several different sticking permutations in the first section of the piece, set completely in 4/4. The following section uses more syncopated rhythms and odd time signatures, such as 3/16 and 5/16. Before the recapitulation, a four-part chorale is interjected. Seventh Tries is a composition written for four-mallet marimba performance. The title is derived from the extensive use of major 7th chords as well as tri-tones. The tempo is marked as a quarter note equals 72 bpm, but if preferred, the performer may wish to try a slower tempo with greater room for expression and nuance. The second section, beginning at measure 16, should be aggressive and full of energy. The section at measure 44 may be quite slow, rolling all notes, but played with great expression. The conclusion, starting at measure 67, should be in the same tempo as the beginning, or may be faster and more aggressive if desired.
