Abstract Details

2019, Doctor of Musical Arts, Ohio State University, Music.
Four-mallet keyboard playing has blossomed in the last five decades, transforming the pedagogy of mallet keyboard performance. During this time solo compositions requiring performers to hold two mallets in each hand grew at a rate such that percussionists could not keep up with all of the new material. Mallet keyboard technique and literature grew more during this time than it had since the introduction of the strohfiedel, a sixteenth-century xylophone, into Western classical music. This growth in repertoire makes it difficult for music educators to know information about all of the solo literature available to the high school-level mallet keyboard percussionist. This document provides band directors, orchestra directors, percussion directors, and instructors a resource with technical and musical information on over 130 four-mallet mallet keyboard solo compositions and will serve as a guide to provide appropriate solo literature to supplement the growth of fundamental skill sets.
