Yellow After The Rain by Mitchell Peters, utilizes simple independent and double vertical techniques. A standard in the percussive community. A great piece for beginning four mallet players.
Virtually an entire generation of marimbists has been introduced to four-mallet techniques with this work, and it is likely that this legacy will continue, even as a wealth of excellent material joins it in the repertoire.

Player I: Marimba

Yellow After The Rain is basically THE Beginning Marimba Solo. A bit overplayed to the point of almost being clich perhaps, but a good piece nonetheless. A great piece to start on for the beginner, or to study and use as practice for the more intermediate student, as it addresses a lot of technical issues.
