Smit-Vignettes(SP) 4M/3P

Vignettes is a marimba quartet inspired by the art of photography. Each of the four vignettes are intended to be a musical setting for four photographs contrasting in color, setting, and texture, but sharing common themes such as tone and point-of-view. Performers are encouraged to project images or colors on a backdrop during live performances so that the shapes, colors, and textures of each vignette are consumed both audibly and visually by the audience.
