Available at other sites:
Partita in D minor . Ed Hartman has written a solo vibraphone partita in the style of Bach. It is available through C. Alan Publications.
"Marimbells of Christmas" is now available through CD Baby.
Return of the Wooden Soldiers. Ed Hartman presents a fun little xylophone solo (sheet music) that is a tribute to the original "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers" by Leon Jessel. It is available through C. Alan Publications. Available as a solo xylophone with piano accompaniment, solo xylophone with marimba trio, and will be available in 2007 with orchestra or band accompaniment.
“ 'Return of the Wooden Soldiers' falls quite comfortably on the keyboard. Hartman has combined a catchy melody with colorful harmonies for his “soldiers,” enhanced with a simple but effective piano accompaniment that is well within the capabilities of the student pianist. This solo gives intermediate students an entertaining diversion while they increase their familiarity with the xylophone keyboard."
—John R. Raush
