Program Notes
Review - "Seawind" is a percussion quintet scored for vibraphone, marimba, shaker and timbales, two cowbells, and two timpani. Written in a Latin style, the composition has several two-bar ostinato-type patterns. Both the vibe and marimba parts contain numerous double stops and may be performed with two mallets. The timpani is tuned to G and C through much of the piece, with special effects such as playing with the butts of the mallets on the bowls, and placing a cymbal on the head and playing glissandos from one pitch to another. The ensemble should be well within the reach of a good middle school or high school ensemble, and should be fun for players of all ages. It will certainly be a selection that audiences will enjoy. - George Frock, April 1999. [1]
