Program Notes
Harrison Cooper Music Publishing: "Concerto for Vibraphone and Orchestra" is a hauntingly lyrical work that was commissioned by the Southeastern Ohio Symphony Orchestra and premiered in 1999 by William Lutz, percussionist with the Columbus (Ohio) Symphony Orchestra. The three movements are titled "To Dream," "To Live" and "To Die." Brooks' composition follows a fast-fast-slow format from movement to movement. The first movement also contains an optional cadenza. The performer must be proficient with the following four-mallet strokes: double vertical, single independent, and single alternating. Harmonically, the movements are bound together through the use of C lydian mode/G Major in the first movement, G natural minor in the second movement, and C natural minor resolving to a C Major sonority in the third movement. Brooks does not provide dampening or pedaling markings for the vibist, nor does he indicate any stickings. A piano reduction and vibraphone part are provided. Orchestral parts are rental only.
