A Vida Chenoweth Collection by Vida Chenoweth

Vida Chenoweth, perhaps more than any other artist, is responsible for elevating solo marimba to a level of respect equal in stature to violin, piano or guitar. She is known for her high artistic abilities as well as her insistence on performing new works written for the instrument. For many years, nearly every major work for the instrument was written for, dedicated to or performed by her. In addition, she has a large body of her own marimba compositions, some of which are presented here. Enjoy these recently discovered gems written at the onset of the marimba’s popularity!
