Description

As the title indicates, scenes in the darkness (night) are characteristic. Jazz influences are very noticeable. Especially in the funky 9/8 section, in which the drums are given ample opportunity to improvise. There is also a virtuosically written vibraphone/marimba solo, which strongly accentuates the character. The additional part can be performed by C/Bb/Eb instruments.
