Click to Listen
Part IV of a series of pieces for two percussionists on one 4 1/3 octave marimba plus a third percussionist on various non-pitched percussion instruments. These pieces vary in difficulty but may be combined to create a unique program for each performance. The length of each piece is under 3:00 which allows for freedom to program one short performance or a longer, multi-movement performance.
 
Part IV:
Part four introduces a four mallet marimba 1 part. The piece has a samba bass line and comping chords contrasted by an eight measure melodic section. There is also a section in the second half of the piece featuring the percussionist.
