McCarthy-Chamber Symphony for Marimba & Winds (SP)

The title of Daniel McCarthy's Chamber Symphony indicates that the wind ensemble is more intimately involved (musically speaking) with the soloist than an accompaniment as in a concerto. In this regard, the single winds and marimba are treated integrally although the marimba is the featured instrument.
