Review
Three Fantastic Songs is a three movement work for four mallet marimba. Approximately six minutes in length, the three movements all explore mallet independence, rolled chords, block chords, and interesting metric variations. While harmony is mostly dissonant, there are some nice voicings of seventh and ninth chords mixed in. Each movement has more than one theme, and they are a combination of rondo tactics and being throughcomposed. Movements one and two use an idee fixe to help tie sections together. Three Fantastic Songs should be a nice challenge for the upper-level undergraduate marimbist. - Rich Holly, Winter 1989[1]
