This is an exciting composition for vibraphone- one that would make an excellent choice for a senior recital. The piece may be played in its entirety, but the composer also gives recommended combinations of movements to be played if the performer chooses. Some of these combinations are for vibraphone alone. The piece is unusual in the contemporary vibraphone repertoire, in that the composer has deliberately avoided drawing on the jazz tradition of the instrument.

The use of different striking areas of the timpani, as well as of various sticks and mallets, extends the timbral colors of the instrument. Requires power, control, subtlety and finesse!
