Description
“Together at Last” was composed for the TMEA 5A Texas All-State Percussion Ensemble. The piece depicts the feelings related to being back together with friends, colleagues, and family after the devastation of the Covid-19 pandemic. There are elements of worry, uncertainty, and longing in the music, but the piece is ultimately happy, celebratory, and joyous. T.A.L. is a percussion ensemble consisting of eight performers. The music is at the advanced –level and is composed in the “Flamenco” style. It features a solo marimba throughout the song along with some marimba soli interludes. The cajón is an integral part of this style of music. The cajón acts as the main driving force in the rhythm section, and is also featured on this piece.
