Jon -
After thinking it over for a few days, my suggestions to you are:
1.) Bach. The thematic melody of baroque music would be an excellent contrast to the minimalism of the Smadbeck and the pure ferocity of the Schwantner.
2.) Abe: "Memories of the Seashore". Very soothing, easy to learn the notes (the musicality is a different story), and just straight up gorgeus. My only concern is that you may lose the audience's attention when in conjunction with the Smadbeck.
3.) Find 3 more bodies and play Levitan's "Marimba Quartet". No explanation needed if you've heard the piece. VERY VERY cool, and LOTS of fun.
4.) Finally, either perform as a solo (which is HARD) or arrange for an ensemble (which is encouraged by the author in the intro to the book) Nebjosa Jovan Zivkovic's "Il canto dei gondolieri". The piece is published in his book "Funny Mallets 2" and recorded on his album "In the Castle of the Mad King". It's a shorter piece, but if you were to arrange it, I'm sure you could repeat a section or play with the form a bit. It's a beautiful piece of music with lots of opportunity in musicality.
Hope I could be of assistance, and let us know how the recital goes.
Best wishes,
CJT
