Goodenberger-Le Jardin de Monet (SP)-4M

Le Jardin de Monet by Mark Goodenberger is a programmatic piece for marimba quartet which describes the effect of standing very close to one of Claude Monet's paintings, and how the interpretation changes as you begin to move back. Inarticulate rhythmic and harmonic density parallel seeing smudges and smears of paint from a very short distance. As the piece progresses, each performer establishes their own identity and personality, just as the image becomes clearer as the observer moves further away.
