Vibraphone
• Pitch bends: With the right hand, press a rubber mallet hard against the far end of the
metal bar and strike the bar with the left-hand mallet. Immediately after striking, slide
the right-hand rubber mallet towards body while maintaining pressure against bar. To
add complexity to the sound, follow the initial left-hand strike with a second (almost
inaudible) left-hand strike on the bar when the pitch reaches a semitone lower.
• The vibraphone player should sing the melody that appears in the obligato staff from bar
137. In the event that the performance involves the optional child singer, the vibraphone
player should double the melody at the octave.
