Dedicated to retired Eastman School of Music Professor of Percussion, John Beck, this contemporary work in three contrasting movements displays the musicianship/musicality of the high school or college timpanist through drama, dynamic contrast, good tone production, and timbral variety ( general and hard/wood mallets, 4 soft marimba mallets, various beating areas – normal, center, near rim), glissandi and not-too-difficult pitch changes. Takes approximately 6 minutes to perform.

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.
