Ranta-Mharuva-M OS

Mharuva by Michael W. Ranta is a four mallet solo scored for 4.0 octave marimba. The twelve movements in this piece range in length from on line to one page. Each movement requires a great deal of compositional input from the performer. This piece explores hand to hand independence as the left hand maintains constant half note pulses while the right hand performs unmetered gestures above it. A challenging work for creative performers.
