Miller, A.-Kiraka's Lullaby (SP)-V/M

Kiraka's Lullaby by Adam Miller for vibraphone and 5-octave marimba. This duet strives to capture the melancholy truth of the life and death struggle that constitutes everyday life in that country. Beginning with what could best be described as a "death toll", the piece conveys an overwhelming sense of loss and sorrow, then slowly transforms from a funeral melody into a child's lullaby, the embodiment of rest, peace…and hope. Scored for 3-octave vibraphone and 5-octave marimba.
