Six Suites for Marimba by Bach arr. Leigh Howard Stevens

Bach scholar Dominik Sackmann contributed his expertise to the transcription of the musical text for this marimba edition of the Six Suites. This is an impeccable urtext edition of the Cello Suites, transcribed for the marimbist without the scordatura and clef complications of cello editions. Leigh Howard Stevens has authored the included style guide for the performance of Bach on the marimba.  Take a moment to review the Table of Contents of this new publication for a quick overview of the breadth of the subjects — many covered for the first time in percussion pedagogy.  The musical material it covers will surely become a core part of every college percussionist’s education — just as Method of Movement continues to be the best-selling college text for teaching stroke types and the principles of efficient movement.
