Samuels-Footpath-M

Footpath by Dave Samuels was originally recorded in June of 1989 for an album entitled Ten Degrees North (MCA Records 6326). This piece was an improvised solo consisting of 3 different themes that were linked together. The recording and subsequent transcription of Footpath is only one possible improvised version using these themes. As is true with transcriptions of this style of music, some of the rhythmic notations are just approximations so listening to the original recording will give the performer a clearer picture of the style of this piece.

Instrumentation: Solo marimba (4-mallet, 4.3 octave)
