Commissioned by Morgan and Jeannine Maddox, husband and wife percussion duo whom I had the great pleasure of playing with while a teenager in the Philadelphia area. Since then we have stayed in contact and in 2013 they asked me if I would compose and concerto for Marimba! I was glad to and it was actually quite a challenge to write for my own instrument, especially the middle lyrical movement.
The piece is to be premiered in Switzerland in 2017. |
