Tucson Sun was composed in March/April, 2018 for “Tócalo Tucson,” a summer workshop at the University of Arizona’s Fred Fox School of Music, hosted by Dr. Morris Palter, the Director of Percussion Studies.  The quartet is scored for 2 marimbas, vibraphone, and piano.

The composition was inspired by the world’s energy source, the sun, the impact of which is so clearly visible in the great American southwest, where throughout history the region has been home to a succession of cultures.

Skylark Orange Circles

$33.00 – $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.
