F. Henri Klickmann Collection of Xylophone or Marimba with Piano Accompaniment.pdf
F. Henri Klickmann was a prolific American composer who wrote over a hundred songs, including popular pieces like "Knockout Drops" (1910), "Dynamite Rag" (1913), and "Sweet Hawaiian Moonlight" (1918). He died on June 25, 1966. While he is not a well-known name today, his musical arrangements were popular in the early 1900s, and he also edited various books by notable musicians like Buddy Rich and Tommy Dorsey.
This collection contains seven xylophone or marimba solos with piano accompaniment, that would make wonderful jury pieces, recital pieces, or repertoire for performances in public venues that are both challenging and fun.
The seven pieces in the collection are:
1. "In a Monastery Garden" by Albert Ketelbey
2. "In an Eighteenth Century Drawing Room" by Raymond Scott
3. "March of the Toys" by Victor Herbert
4. "The Man I Love" by George Gershwin
5. "The Teddy Bears' Picnic" by John Bratton
6. "Valencia" by José Padilla
7. "When Day is Done" by Robert Katcher
These are arrangements of well-known classical and popular pieces from the early 20th century, adapted by Klickmann for mallet percussion instruments.
