Goodenberger-Schism-M

Schism by Mark Goodenberger for solo marimba. "Schism was composed at a time when I was living in a town four hours away from my young daughters. During my weekly drives to and from visiting them, I was constantly struck by the variances of landscape, from the high desert-like steppes in the foothills of the northern Cascades, through the mountains, descending into the stunning beauty and depth of the Columbia River gorge, to the metropolis of Portland, Oregon. Schism represents that distance and divide in our existences." - Mark Goodenberger. Scored for four mallet 5-octave marimba.
