Tyson-Wind That Turns the World, The (SP)-Solo M/B/V/M/DS/P

The wind that turns the world is a mythological description of the unseen forces of coincidence, fortune, timing, and circumstance that push our lives in different directions every day. Because of this wind, almost every moment holds the possibility of altering our life’s path in some way.

Scored for solo marimba with percussion quartet, The Wind That Turns the World is a “windblown theme and variations.” The theme is built on the letters of Michael Burritt's first name and last initial (using a few tricks and three different languages).
