Tapspace Smile by Charles Chaplin arr. Alex Stopa

Smile from Charlie Chaplin's final silent movie Modern Times was immortalized in 1954 by Nat King Cole, and Alex Stopa has arranged this warm-hearted song for solo marimba. This lovely little tune will make any listener do what the title says.

This piece is a no-brainer for recital material (or as an encore), and it can remain in your rep list for gigs outside of a school setting!
