About the piece:
Embers Above (2022) is a duet written for 5-octave marimba and piano and is aimed at intermediate to advanced players, from high school to collegiate level. Not to be mistaken for a piece for marimba and piano accompaniment, this duet involves both the marimba and piano equally, where the role of accompaniment and lead are traded between the two players throughout the piece. Neither parts are particularly challenging technically, and the piano part requires basic piano proficiency (ABRSM Grade 5).
Recorded With:
Audio-Technica AT2035, AT4040
Sony Alpha A6300
Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 (Nikon Mount)
Adams Artist Classic Rosewood Marimba
Vic Firth Robert Van Sice Mallets M122, M123, M124
Steinway Model B-211

Wohohohoho this is incredible, so many different techniques and the voicing is soooo good, your best work yet 😌
Thanks Adam!!

I normally don't like Marimba and Piano duets because I find them to be uneccessary compositions. But this piece is very very well composed and absolutely beautiful.. Thank you for sharing this to the world !
It's so good omg!!!! I already told someone if they want to do this with me and they also said yes automatically. so just need to find time and start it. This is now on my list to do before I graduate, since I am a senior in high school, this would be a great piece to play for my final year with my best friend ❤️
This is his best work yet. Such an amazing and inspiring person making me want to try harder as a percussionist.
I am 10 years old and my father said he will give300 dallors if I learn it on piano. I will never make😂
Sounds beautiful. Your best composition yet for sure.
Sheeeeeeeesh…….this man is incredible😳
Perfect harmony.
Beautiful work Arnor. Tell your twin well done for me. Seriously bravo
Thank you! I will be sure to let him know!
This gave me chills
so good
I love it so much
BotW vibes, very cool
have you ever thought of making two mallet pieces?
On measure 47, you notated a 3 note chord but In vid there’s a 4 note chord, was this intentional?
pencil
big pencil 🤖
Pieces like these make me wish I had a 5 octave marimba to play it
Wow, I only am 2 minutes in but it's so amazing! I need to find someone to play this with!
(Just finished the rest, continues to be amazing! Any idea if and when you'll put this on Spotify?)
I’ll try to get it up in the next month or so!
Did anyone not notice Arnor looking at his invisible marimba self while playing the piano? It literally makes it look so natural and that they're 2 twins playing a beautiful piece. Wow, simply amazing, marimba is so hard! I can play "A cricket sang a set the sun!" I hope I can play at least one of Arnor Chu's songs or maybe even compose something myself! Keep up the amazing work Arnor! ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
I’ve watched this so many times and I don’t even realize he was playing both parts that’s amazing.
I got about a minute and a half in, and i just started to break down crying in my room. My life has been so hard lately, but this was just so beautiful and somehow meaningful to me i couldn’t help but cry.
Thank you
How is this allowed to be so incredible. It's so beautiful and fun at the same time. Amazing piece
I was literally searching your profile yesterday for new content from you so something today is awesome, how exciting!
Decades ago I was lamenting that there are no more true great composers ... I believe have now found one --Arno Chu ..and I believe Bach ,Tchaikovsky and co. would agree !
a true percussionist 💯
Wow, both the composition and the recording sync are cool.
my guy... how do you practice to be able to play like that
practice 40 hours a day and you will become a master : )
Never in my life have I ever heard a piano + marimba piece but man am I impressed.
Amazing work, totally worth the wait
Is that last section based off of something? It sounds familiar. Really nice piece
That was absolutely beautifully composed. I loved that performance so much. 👏👏
Dear Arno, I was thinking of writing something for Piano and Marimba and your piece is super encouraging. It goes together wonderfully - really excellent!
What mallets did you have in each position? I would love to try and replicate the sound you get out of the marimba with your selection.
In order, I used the VF M122, M123, M123, M124. Your touch, the instrument, and the room will all be big factors in your sound as well, so I encourage everyone to find a setup that works specifically for them with their style and setting.
Thanks so much
Wow beautiful new piece!
is this playable on a 4.3 or only a 5
Wow just wow ❤

❤ So proud of you as an alumnus of BU
❤ Thank you, come back and visit sometime!! haha
Wow it sounds amazing! In my opinion this would be even better if you did a version with orchestra idk
5.5 Octave? ultimate bass
Genuine question; how do you go about recording these two parts separately while maintaining the same interpretation of rhythm and time? This is a fantastic piece and performance, by the way.
Lots of practice and pre-planning for every tradeoff, writing every detail in (as you should do anyway). In terms of recording, I record as if I were actually playing with another musician, recording the part that leads first, and then the accompaniment after to ensure musical cohesiveness.
@@ArnorMusic the way the accompanist looks over for cues had me dying :,,D
@@jjmarigold2120 I'm glad somebody noticed hehe
@@ArnorMusic thats incredible! what did you do to listen to the marimba part while recording the piano part? i see no earbuds so you must have used some sort of monitors, right?
@@Zelgeon there are actually some cuts where you can see the cable coming out of my shirt for the close-up piano angle if you look close enough but the answer is… sneaky camera work lol
