Helble-Passacaglia Op. 77-M

Commissioned by Theodor Milkov for his American debut recital at 2016 PASIC, Passaglia for solo marimba by Raymond Helble is a massive, weighty, tonally contrapuntal, and technically brilliant tour de force. At 15 minutes in length, it should be programmed as the major work on a recital.

Number of players: 1
Difficulty: Advanced

Instrumentation: Marimba (5 octave)
