Program Notes

Review

Alexander Lepak, who is better known to this reviewer as the author of excellent studies for timpani than as a mallet composer, has produced a really interesting piece for vibraphone. The first and third movements are in rapid motion with shifting accents, but are quite different in character. The second movement is a charming piece with a blues feel, spiced with contemporary harmonies and some rapid flowing passages. Four mallets are required throughout. Suite would be an effective college recital piece with a distinctive and serious character. Paper and printing quality are excellent. Pedal marks are clear and logical. - Karen Ervin, Winter 1978
