Program Notes

Written for famed Japanese marimba soloist, Reiko Kono. This concerto-like work is accompanied by the full resources of the modern concert band. The movements are a romantic Nocturne, a gay, lilting Scherzetto, and a brilliant Toccata which is surprisingly set to a swing-boogie rhythmic background.
