Written to depict the Camino de Santiago, a 600 mile pilgrimage on foot through western Europe, Michael Charles Smith’s medium marimba solo, The Camino, captures the wistful nature of this amazing journey. Perpetuated by a relentless 16-note motive, this piece requires an evenness in touch and tone from the performer so the melody speaks clearly without interrupting the underlying 16th-notes. This is a great piece for any young performer looking to develop their 4-mallet technique. This piece ships in a printed, professionally bound folio with a full color cover.
