Program Notes
Two Movements for Mallets II by William Steinohrt expands on his first Two Movements piece by developing timbral ideas among the eight parts. The contrasting quick and slow movements give this ensemble many technical and musical demands that each performer must be able to tackle while still providing a seamless blend.
