Imagine seeing him hit the resonator and thinking "at least he makes mistakes too" then looking at the music and seeing a note towards the end notated "resonator strike" lmao
@@wafersss Well no shit. I was saying that I legitimately thought that the resonator strike was on purpose, but after looking at the sheet music, I was confirmed that he missed the note.
I've been watching Casey and Pius for many years. You guys were my inspiration to get my degree back in the day. Although I didn't end up pursuing a musical career, I still brush my teeth everyday to this piece.
1:35 is my favorite part of this solo, not just because that sick one handed cangelosi roll your doing, but that stuff with your left hand is just awesome
@@zanmolecules4105 I'm also a senior in high school but I play trombone instead. At some point, almost every piece of music is possible after long enough practice. Unless your talking about techniques like multiphonics or others that rely on pure luck to understand how to do it.
@@jacobspeedrunchannel1893 Congratulations! Very impressive considering the percussion players at my school. My point still stands however. I know a fellow brass player, a trumpet player, that agrees with me. We could learn hard solos for our instruments in a month at most. The practice required to get to this point is many years.
im in the percussion dept at University of Oregon and my friend Casey Crane (also a member of the dept) played this piece and definitely did it justice and played it very well.
Hello and thank you. I would recommend score study! Take scores of pieces you like, try to figure them out, how the piece works, how the composer uses the material. Be patient, listen and read, over and over and over :)
Best advice. I took this and read it to the janky middle section. Took and and studied the stuff in front of a piano. Took it back and read it all the way through. Now I'm in the gluing process.
I really appreciate what you do. There is really not enough truly difficult marimba literature out there, especially in the two mallet category, which is overlooked by most composers hoping to write a difficult piece. You've managed to do this while still making great music and I love it; there needs to be more composers like you. It's not like I don't think your music is terrific, but if you're the only one doing it, all the best marimbist will be playing an hour of your music and nothing else!
I'm a professional guitarist, and to be honest havn't really been exposed to band/Marimba music, but this was just so awesome to watch. I thoroughly enjoyed listening and watching true, amazing talent-whatever the instrument, and this gets a double thumbs up. Congrats Casey, I had my wife (former Marimba player) come check it out. She LOVED it!!
y'know what, I'm a sophomore in highschool right now and when I'm a junior, imma learn this solo. Right now I'm learning october night so i think this is doable
@lyrikkalvision07 Thanks for the compliment, and you do raise a good point. I have plenty of easy pieces; what you see on youtube is not everything I've done and I don't really care if people play these hard pieces or not, that is not the point. Art is not business. Do you really think "Yellow After the Rain" was composed for its illuminating musical message? Also, we need more virtuostic rep., can you think of a single percussion piece that stands up to Beethoven, Rachmaniov, Chopin etc?
This sounds like a walk through a world akin to Alice in Wonderland. A friend of mine is playing this for his state solo competition, so thanks for composing this and letting me hear it through all of the hours he's spent practicing.
So I'm thinking..."man two mallet marimba music is boring." Then I come across this gem of piece. Casey, great music and performance have been enjoying your work for years. Keep it up.
@epdec Thanks! It's not directly inspired by any one piece of music, but good call, I'm totally a closet metal head! Don't tell the classical community, they'll eat me alive. :)
Incredible performance. Refreshing to hear something other than 'bumblebee' for once. But if you ask me, this is what I would imagine a marimba solo written by Bill Bachman would sound like lol
Considering this for my senior recital. Have a ton of four-mallet music (almost 30 minutes). Might be cool to do a challenging two mallet piece that's not Bach.
@lyrikkalvision07 I really think that these difficult-insane level pieces are the ones that take you to a 6 +++++. They're just so intensely awesome that you make yourself better in order to play them, and that's part of the beauty in these pieces.
hi Casey, I am a Chinese student, and I have just bought some of your composition, but I input a wrong address, 😭what should I do? can you see your Message?
Casey, first of all. You are like God of the marimba. I just ordered this solo yesterday and am looking to play it for a college audition. What type of mallets would be best?
Imagine seeing him hit the resonator and thinking "at least he makes mistakes too" then looking at the music and seeing a note towards the end notated "resonator strike" lmao
I thought that might actually be the case, but no he did sadly miss the note
@@displayclayton3407 it's a joke
There are resonator strikes written in the music
@@wafersss Well no shit. I was saying that I legitimately thought that the resonator strike was on purpose, but after looking at the sheet music, I was confirmed that he missed the note.
@@displayclayton3407 No need to get all pissy
This looks like hell to play.
I want to play it.
That's the spirit!
FourLeggedBus did you play it yet? If so, how’d it go? Im attempting the same thing
Chops, composed by chops, performed by chops
When he hits the edge of the bar it's no longer fast chops it's now controlled muscle spasm
Yeah lol
We all picked solos to play in band and my senior friend chose this one. Say a prayer.
It's a tough one!
Bro wanted to die
@@CaseyCangelosijust started learning today as an audition solo for dci, really fun so far :)
The resonator shot lets us know he's human.
alexanderpujari lol he did that on purpose to make to make you think he’s human
My friend, that was written in the music.
that’s written in the music lol
@@CoenWilson1 it is not. He did miss that note.
@@tomsmith2417 look for yourself then
I've decided that I want this to be my two mallet audition piece for my Juilliard audition.
Nine years later, how is it going?
@@IlliterateBreadsTV We need to know
Lets us know
11 years later, I need an update lmao
Updateeee?
What I love about this is how it actually is still really musical (thanks in no small part to a musical performer) but it kicks so much butt
I've been watching Casey and Pius for many years. You guys were my inspiration to get my degree back in the day. Although I didn't end up pursuing a musical career, I still brush my teeth everyday to this piece.
1:35 is my favorite part of this solo, not just because that sick one handed cangelosi roll your doing, but that stuff with your left hand is just awesome
so that's why my percussion director wont let anyone play this.
hello, I use the IP rubber marimba mallets - field series rattan. Enjoy!
CaseyCangelosi I think that these particular mallets have been discontinued-any other suggestions?
I’m a senior in High School and I can’t wait to preform this piece in a couple months
Thanks and enjoy!
Seniors in high school are playing this? I’m only a sophomore and I can barely play “medium” level music on marimba
@@zanmolecules4105 I'm also a senior in high school but I play trombone instead. At some point, almost every piece of music is possible after long enough practice. Unless your talking about techniques like multiphonics or others that rely on pure luck to understand how to do it.
@@The_Fool_Above_The_Sky ong i learned this as a sophomore because i no lifed it for months

The fact that he actually configures a compelling melody is even more mind boggling
omg the sheet music.......
ALL THE SHEET MUSIC

2:10 wow impressive!

Casey you are the coolest -Parker
This makes the second awesome 2 mallet solo I have ever seen. Great work

So I'm thinking..."man two mallet marimba music is boring." Then I come across this gem of piece. Casey, great music and performance have been enjoying your work for years. Keep it up.
I'm seriously in love with this!
Somehow I came across this song yet again, it has been 3 years and I arrive at this Video
GREAT JOB!!!
Thank you for the incredible performance at the Roy Miller HS FLAM JAMM!!!
I am suprised, I've never seen any performer like you....whao. Congratulations!!
thanks and yes, I love playing drumset
The name of this piece is perfect and nobody can tell me different.
Superb piano skills, witness of history
piano?
This makes me want to cry, because of the awesomeness, it hurts...
I'm in love with this piece and have recently bought it from your website. Thanks for such a great marimba piece!
Bravo, bravo, bravo!!! Simply fantastic!!!
I just had my percussion concert and our guest performer played this.
Casey, such a great piece of music. Made my morning. Thank you!
Beautiful....Thank you
love it! casey you impress me more and more with each video. thank you!
What mallets are you using on this take? They sound great. Very crisp.
I believe the piece calls for rubber mallets. Not sure of his exact series.
Just passed by... I promise you to play it on one of my next Concerts, Casey. Best wishes.
Amazing simply amazing
i fell in love with this solo i what to take this to solo contest next year
@epdec Thanks! It's not directly inspired by any one piece of music, but good call, I'm totally a closet metal head! Don't tell the classical community, they'll eat me alive.
:)
Incredible performance. Refreshing to hear something other than 'bumblebee' for once. But if you ask me, this is what I would imagine a marimba solo written by Bill Bachman would sound like lol
Wow. Thank you for this. very inspiring!
AMAZING JOB!!!
BAD ASS!
PERIOD!!!
This was fun to learn! Thank you!
Stunning!!
Such a classic
I think my new goal is, by the end of high school, learn this.
Cameron so have you got it to tempo yet?
How far are you
How is it going for ya? Two years later lol
Cameron you got it down yet!?
Cameron ever did it?
AMAZING!!!!!!!!
Considering this for my senior recital. Have a ton of four-mallet music (almost 30 minutes). Might be cool to do a challenging two mallet piece that's not Bach.
Every time I see this I just imagine that image of Patrick Star with his jaw completely open just staring
Magnifico !
God of the Marimba
AWESOME!
@mkallend yep, it's written for a 4.3 (low A) marimba. Glad you like it
Came here after hearing Eric Carr play an except on his EMCdump Channel today (7-19-2021)
Same!
THANKS !❤
@captainguyman ...how did you know? That's exactly what I was going for -spot on
Perfect
Boss fight music
amazing
Wow
I've competed in WGI
These mallet chops are something
@lyrikkalvision07 I really think that these difficult-insane level pieces are the ones that take you to a 6 +++++. They're just so intensely awesome that you make yourself better in order to play them, and that's part of the beauty in these pieces.
This is definitely going to be the solo I play
I forgot to come back and say that this was indeed the solo I played about 5-6 years ago.
He is a beast
What mallets are you using here?
very nice
@CaseyCangelosi hahahahahaha love your music
@CaseyCangelosi What mallets were you using here? This is by far the coolest mallet piece I've ever seen. Fantastic writing.
this solo is the audible personification of Godzilla having sex in super fast motion.
@SuperPerfect5th yes, aside from the piece above, Etude in A minor no.2, Theatric no.2, and several of the Preludes
I will be performing this in may, I’m a sophomore in highschool
@CaseyCangelosi lol again you casey you seem the like the kinda of that thats just plain awesome your a win
@vampiracy Thanks! too kind
I’m doing and it is amazing song
Hi, in the video I'm using Innovative's
ENS360 - HARD RUBBER MALLETS -BLACK - BIRCH
Rattan would also work equally well
Hey I know that guy! Awesome playing, man!
Casey did you march DCI anywhere?
@AUSMarimba
:) thanks
look up "Cangelosi White knuckle Stroll Exercise", there's a video
my head just exploded. by the way, nice hair cut!
Ok thank you so much. I'm going to try and learn this. Hopefully my arms don't fall off
@odelotto Hello, I'd be glad to! I do those types of visits quite often. Please let your instructor know that I'd be happy and willing.
hi Casey, I am a Chinese student, and I have just bought some of your composition, but I input a wrong address, 😭what should I do? can you see your Message?
Hello and thank you, I got your teacher's message -no problem :)
What mallets did he use
Ah we meet again, Casey.
I have reached a limit of 400 bpm in 1/16 while studiyng this piece. The recording goes well above 450 bpm. Yeah i ain't risking my tendons😂
Casey, first of all. You are like God of the marimba. I just ordered this solo yesterday and am looking to play it for a college audition. What type of mallets would be best?
Come back to Morehead State University soon, Casey! Great video!
@taylorrenee96 thanks very much! Yeah man, totally doable, I look forward to your order :)
His hands are very fast and lasting!!
What kind of exercises do/did you do in order to play so fast? Or is it an overall technique thing?
Or are your chops just that magical?
that's awesome. It's sort of difficult to tell from the video - because of the camera angle - but, is that all playable on a 4-octave?
