A delightful piece for a beginning to intermediate four-mallet player. The marimba creates a smooth texture of triplets and 8ths throughout a 4.3 range.

“The variety of materials in each section make this a worthy composition, which is well within the level of an advanced high school or young undergraduate student.”-Percussive NotesThe composer’s taste for consonance and dissonance is evidenced by his playful bantering between pentatonic, chromatic, minor and major.
