Deane-Marimba Quartet #2 Sensing the Coriolis (SP)-4M

The Coriolis Force is a force of inertia and perspective resulting from a rotating motion (such as the rotation of Earth on its axis) that affects objects and their relationship to the rotation. Weather patterns and ocean currents demonstrate the affectation of the Coriolis Force in nature. The title of Christopher Deane's second marimba quartet "Sensing the Coriolis" comes from a poetic musing on this idea of experiencing, empirically, the grand motion of Earth's rotation.
