Schreiber-InEs/A Year in Ice-M

InEs and A Year In Ice are two four mallet solos scored for 4.5 octave (low F) marimba. InEs was completed in 1987. The composer's idea for writing this piece came to him during a train ride, being inspired by the noise of the wheels and a deep feeling of the countryside, time and speed condensing. "A Year In Ice" was written in 1985 and was the first composition to be presented to a wider audience. The piece was in the repertoire of the competition of the European Union of Youth Europaeischer Musikpreis für die Jugend" 2006 for marimba solo.
