Hello, I'm looking for a peice for a local concerto competition, on marimba or xylophone, but I have a couple of limitations:
1) Must be for 4 octave marimba
2) Must be 2-mallet or basic 4 mallet technique (I have had little experiance with 4, only playing the Bouree from Bach's Sonatas and Partidas)
3) Where can I get a hold of the music? It seems near impossible to find marimba music anywhere.

I have had significant trouble finding a decent peice besides the Creston, which I have already performed. My best options so far have been Abe's Prism Rhapsody and Mayuzumi's Concertino, but I havehad no way to tell if they are 5 oct, or etc?
Any input at all will be much appriciated.
