Winner of what may have been the earliest marimba composition contest ever held, the Sarmientos was premiered by Vida Chenoweth in 1957. A three-movement work of great vitality with Guatemalan-influenced rhythms and melodies, it is performable by any good collegiate marimbist.

“Desperate Attitudes” is already accepted and established as a standard repertoire work. “In your face” mallet parts with a really “urban” edge, but it also has tremendous lyrical and harmonic impact.

For vibraphone solo and three percussionists, this
piece, through its four movements, serves to both
fulfill the expectation of dynamic yet transparent
writing and set new ones with its textural and

allows it to fit into many concert and recital
settings while the unique instrumentation serves as a
palette cleanser next to many solo keyboard settings.
