Beautiful piece for a marimbist. We purchased this piece for our son for his state competition. It is a serene piece that makes you think you are relaxing in the rain.
Description
The Essential Introduction to Four-Mallet Marimba
Yellow After the Rain by Mitchell Peters is universally recognized as a foundational pillar of the marimba repertoire. For decades, virtually an entire generation of marimbists has been introduced to four-mallet playing through this beautiful, serene composition. Written for a 4-octave instrument, it remains an indispensable rite of passage for the developing percussionist.
A Standard in Percussion Repertoire
Composed by Mitchell Peters, the former Principal Timpanist and Percussionist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, this piece was specifically crafted to help students bridge the gap between two-mallet playing and advanced four-mallet literature. The solo focuses on developing fundamental mechanics, including:
- Double Vertical Strokes: Build hand strength and chordal accuracy.
- Independent Strokes: Develop fluid melodic lines and arppegiated patterns without tension.
- Musical Phrasing: Learn to shape beautiful, rolling melodies that sound highly musical to both percussionists and general audiences alike.
Perfect for Competitions and Recitals
Because it is highly tuneful and structurally accessible, Yellow After the Rain is a staple on state solo and ensemble repertoire lists across the country. Whether a student is preparing for a high school competition, a college audition, or their very first solo recital, this piece provides the perfect platform to showcase musicality and foundational four-mallet technique.

I received my order within 3 days and it was exactly what we needed. I always order my music from Steve Weiss Music and have been highly satisfied.

This was my first solo with four mallets, and now my students are using it for competitions. Very tuneful and easy on the ears of musicians and non-musicians alike (so much percussion music sounds harsh to the uninitiated). I highly recommend all of Mitchell Peters' marimba solos to beginner/intermediate level percussion students and their instructors.

Thank you for having great percussion music available! It seems local music stores don't keep a lot of percussion music in stock, and you have all the great resources available, like this solo!
