After a short dramatic opening, the piece kicks into the main theme--a straight forward pop\/jazz\/fusion section featuring vibraphone with a tricky 3-mallet-in-one-hand set-up. This gives way to a nice mixed-meter marimba feature with bells and vibes responding in sort of a question-and-answer fashion which makes up the second major statement. Next is a nice SLOW \u0026amp; easy \"blue\" section featuring a tasty vibes solo. Then elements of the first two major themes are introduced into the blue motif (a combination of the colors...\"earth tones\") which results in an outright (up-tempo) reprisal of the opening themes, a short drum-set solo, and a bright mixed-meter conclusion ending in a rock-type improv. finish.
