Craig-Three Questions for Solo Marimba-M

Three Questions for solo Marimba by Bryce Craig contemplates some of the questions a new parent might have, with a wide variety of musical textures and performance techniques being explored by the performer. Can They Think? is a quick-moving moto perpetuo meant to mimic the rapid stream of thoughts and ideas our brains often create. In contrast, Can They Dream? is a slow chorale that celebrates the aspirations and goals humans make for themselves. The work concludes with Can They Play?, which serves as a reminder to not take life too seriously and have fun once in a while!
