The revival of interest in the music of George Hamilton Green can be credited almost completely to the scholarly efforts and xylophone artistry of Bob Becker and the world-famous percussion group, NEXUS. Here is the arrangement Bob Becker made for NEXUS which has caught the attention of audiences and percussionists around the world and created a whole new fascination with the xylophone as a solo instrument. The accompaniments require four players performing on a minimum of two marimbas. The piece has performance suggestions by Bob Becker, historical notes and a written-out “improvised” solo chorus that can be performed as is, or used as a basis for a truly improvised chorus. Complete piece includes a score, four marimba parts and a solo part. Also available as solo part only.
