Program Notes
The Yuletide Marimbist (Book 1) was created to fill a void in Christmas literature for 4-mallet solo marimba. Spanning a wide range of styles, these arrangements are suitable for diverse performance venues – both sacred and secular. Only a 4 1/3-octave marimba is necessary, but cue notes are provided throughout for extended range if you have access to a 5-octave instrument. With one exception ("O Holy Night"), all of the arrangements are flexible in that they may be repeated one or more times by utilizing ending repeats or "D.S./D.C." indication. The book includes performance notes and mallet suggestions for each solo.Silent Night

A Perfect Collection
As a performer, Christmas holidays bring some anxiety for material to perform. With this collection, the nerves can take a holiday. These are beautifully arranged and also can be a challenge for the performer. I recommend that you select your song early so your performance will be well prepared. I know that my holiday music now has more options to choose from. Best of luck and of course, thanks to Nathan for these great arrangements. Russ Allen on Apr 19th 2022

Flexible and Useful Holiday Arrangements
I really like the flexibility that Mr. Daughtrey has allowed here. Not only are the arrangements well crafted, he has made it easy to play them with ad lib accompaniments as well as making extended versions.
Another plus is his attention to detail in notation. His use of tenuto markings to delineate melodic lines makes it easy to "see" what notes are part of the original line.
These pieces are challenging enough for the performer to enjoy, yet accessible enough for audience enjoyment. Highly recommended. Tim Strelau on Nov 26th 2015
