{"product_id":"kimura-groundhog-blues","title":"Kimura-Groundhog Blues-M","description":"Groundhog Blues was written following a xylophone seminar in Dayton, Ohio in 2014. The piece is dedicated to percussionist Jeff Luft, who has been a fan of groundhogs since he was a child. Jeff encouraged me to write my first solo marimba composition. The thematic ideas for this piece came from the cute behavior of the small animal, which I had never seen in my home country of Japan. Most Americans know the rules of Groundhog Day (February 2nd), when a groundhog is said to forecast the weather by looking for its shadow.\u003cbr\u003e-Yurika Kimura\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of players: 1\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty: Advanced\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation: Marimba (5 octave)","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43804481126454,"sku":"KIMURAGB","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/kimura-groundhog-blues-m.jpg?v=1773439734","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/kimura-groundhog-blues","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
