Review
This four-mallet marimba solo explores a bitonal harmonic vocabulary. It begins with a slow, improvisation-like introduction that is tonally consonant, moving to three rhythmic vamps at a faster, constant tempo (quarter note = 107). Each of these vamps can be repeated as many times as desired. The piece then moves to more complex harmonies, with a chromatic melody moving over a repetitive bass line. This material continues, becoming more rhythmic with the right hand changing to octaves. At this point the meter changes from 4/4 to 3/8, with the same harmonic approach applied. Later, a four-over-three polyrhythm is introduced, which soon changes to eight-over-three. After a return to 4/4, the dissonance reaches a high point with a three-over-two polyrhythm that comes to an abrupt and dramatic end. The three vamps are reintroduced, with the last one moving to end the work on a single C-minor chord. This piece is well-crafted and will challenge the advanced marimba player, both technically and harmonically. - Tom Morgan[1]
