Kosterman-In Nebulous Suspension Held (SP)-M/VC

in nebulous suspension held by Rod Kosterman is a character piece for marimba and cello. The title is from the following passage found in "Absalom, Absalom!" by William Faulkner: "...in a pearly lambence without shadows and themselves partaking of it; in nebulous suspension held, strange and unpredictable, even their very shapes fluid and delicate and without substance; not in themselves floating and seeking but merely waiting, parasitic and potent and serene, drawing to themselves without effort the post-genitive upon and about which to shape, flow into back, breast, bosom, flank, thigh."

This marimba cello duet was a 2010 PAS contest winner and is written for a five octave marimba.
