Klatzow-Dances of Earth and Fire-M OS

Dances of Earth and Fire was written by Peter Klatzow specifically for famous marimbist Robert Van Sice. According to composer Peter Klatzow, "These two ritualistic pieces reflect on the one hand the solidity and all-embracing gravity of the Earth itself, and the evanescent flickering of flame, which always seeks to rise upwards and escape into the beyond. These become metaphors for life and death, or earth-bound; spirit-bound forces." This is an incredible piece for solo marimba and one that will be enjoyed by performer and audience alike!

Instrumentation: Marimba (4-mallets, 5 octave)
Difficulty: Grade 6
