Iwaki Senda’s arrangement of Going Home is based on the theme from Dvořák’s New World Symphony movement II: “Largo.” The nostalgic melody is perfectly suited for the marimba’s warmth, and the sustained rolls allow the performer to highlight their technique. Antonín Leopold Dvořák was a Czech composer and organist, and frequently employed rhythms and other aspects of the folk music of Moravia and his native Bohemia. Famous for his nationalist Czech music, Dvořák has been described as arguably the most versatile composer of his time.
Skylark Orange Circles
Price range: $35.00 through $39.00Duet for two marimbasSkylark Orange Circles is dedicated to the wonderful Japanese marimba virtuoso, Momoko Kamiya. The music is very dance-like in quality, going over and over through mostly the same sequence of harmonies while melodic variations are developed. The melodic ideas become more and more like a bird (or flute) singing as the work progresses.
