The term equipoise refers to a state of balance or counterbalance. Each movement includes passages in which one performer improvises on a given group of pitches while the other provides an ostinato-like pattern using a complementary set of pitches. The percussionist alternates between marimba and vibraphone. The saxophonist plays tenor, alto and soprano saxophones . As the piece builds to a climax in the final movement, both players improvise on a pattern of interlocking rhythms and rapid meter changes.

Skylark Orange Circles

Price range: $35.00 through $39.00
By

Duet 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.
