(for Five Percussion Players) Five players – glockenspiel/bass drum, marimba, vibraphone, songbells (second vibraphone may be substituted), prepared tom-tom/crotales. Soloistic tom-tom part is rudimental throughout; vibraphone part is difficult at times. The piece is an edited version of music originally composed to accompany modern choreography. Approximately 14 minutes.
