Udow-Coyote Dreams (SP)-M/P

Commissioned by Ron Samuels, President, Marimba One, for Katarzina Mycka, 1996 winner of the World Marimba Competition-Stuttgart, and 1995 winner of the Luxembourg International Marimba Competition. The premiere will take place at the 1997 Percussive Arts Society International Convention, Aneheim, CA the third week of November. Instruments include 5 octave marimba, shimedaiko (bongos), taiko (congas), O-daiko (bass drum), musical saw, cymbal on timpano, amplified cymbal, idiophones which may include log drums, piccolo woodblocks, metals, etc., wooden box. This is a powerhouse tonal high energy work with mix meters and cross-rhythmic interlocking rhythms. The middle section has a lyrical choral which develops into a highly contrapuntal extended harmonic "Bachian Invention". Not for the faint of heart!

for marimba - 5 octave - and 3 percussionists
