(for Vibes and Marimba)
This composition was the winner of the PAS mallet duo composition contest. Considering the dozens and dozens of entries, that is a strong endorsement. It is fairly easy to prepare for intermediate vibes and marimba players, but it comes off to the audience as more than the sum of its parts.
