Daughtrey-A World in Us (SP)-2B/2-3V/C/Cro./X/4-5M/4T/P

Scored for 14-16 percussionists, A World in Us is a celebration of enduring friendship. The exciting 5-1/2 minute work takes its title from the following quote from The Diary of Anaïs Nin: “Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.”
