The set-up in 3 of the 4 movements is a modified drum set, including pedal bass drum, hi-hat, snare, tube drums, large metal garbage can and various cymbals. Movement two utilizes a small collection of metal instruments, including 5 tin cans, mining pans, and two Chinese opera gongs. Each movement has a distinct character. Throughout there are complex rhythms and changing meters within a very melodic context. Advanced technical facility is required and movements 1 and 3 require solid foot/hand independence.
Skylark Orange Circles
$33.00 – $39.00Duet for two marimbasSkylark Orange Circles is dedicated to the wonderful Japanese marimba virtuoso, Momoko Kamiya. The music is very dance-like in quality, going over and over through mostly the same sequence of harmonies while melodic variations are developed. The melodic ideas become more and more like a bird (or flute) singing as the work progresses.
