Album

This album collects works by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Jascha Heifetz/ Manuel Ponce, Leo Brouwer, Thomas Oboe Lee, Francisco Tárrega, and Yu-Hsien Teng/ Ahim Tan. Except Preludios by Thomas Oboe Lee, Wei-Chen transcribed all the other works for marimba solo or duo. Playing transcribed works on marimba gives both he original music and the instrument a multiple dimension of sounds. ESTRELLITA, a Mexican serenade, means My Little Stars in Spanish. The album mainly features Brazilian, Cuban, Spanish, and Mexican music. Wei-Chen also recorded a folk tune of Taiwan, where he is originally from. This recording will give you a different perspective of marimba sound.

Wei-Chen uses and endorses Marimba One marimbas, built and designed by Ron Samuels.
Recorded and mixed by Joel Edinberg @ Q Division Studio (USA)
Mastering by Mike Quinn (USA)/ Photos by Raymond Huang (Taiwan)
Art design by Desmond Peng (Singapore)

Review (Percussive Notes, July 2016)
“Fantasia” is simply gorgeous! Written for guitar in 1888 by Francisco Tárrega and transcribed by Wei-Chen Lin for marimba in 2015, this piece contains some of the most well-known melodies from Giacomo Verdi’s opera La Traviata. The opera selections in “Fantasia” were originally chosen to highlight the range of tonal and musical characteristics of the guitar, and this transcription beautifully demonstrates that the marimba has a similar versatility.

The piece utilizes the entire 5-octave instrument and requires playing that ranges from reflective and sensitive to transparent and virtuosic. In addition to the musical challenges inherent in connecting numerous melodies and varied styles, the piece poses some technical challenges, including occasional large intervals in the left hand, glissandi utilizing multiple notes, and single-handed trills. The payoff, however, of playing these beautiful melodies on the marimba is well worth overcoming the challenges!  --Julie Licata
