Lymon-of thoughts and thinking-M

Written in 1993, this piece has long been a staple in the solo marimba repertoire. Based in A minor, Of Thoughts and Thinking by Antonio C. Lymon gives the performer plenty of freedom for interpretation. It begins and ends with full, lush chorale sections. The middle section is reminiscent of Spanish guitar writing and builds in dynamic and tempo to a powerful climax. Appropriate for any level of four-mallet playing from undergraduate to professional.
