SOLO WORKS WITH MARIMBA

Solo pieces for marimba or marimba and percussion:

D PROFUNDIS

D PROFUNDIS is a piece for marimba, that begins (as if from nowhere) in the depths, rises step by step, becoming more and more intensive until, at the end, it returns to the lowest point (a low D).

The tones C – c2 (on a 5 octave marimba) are needed. 

MARBÉRICA

MARBÉRICA is a fictional island that may be situated somewhere between the Iberian
Peninsula and the African continent. Andalusian, Arabic and African spirit is in the air.

The heat of the sun can be felt in the idle introduction, which soon gives way to a rhythmic
and mysterious passage and later (utilizing special performance techniques) changes into a
naive-joyful atmosphere. Suddenly dark clouds appear and something ominous seems to
hover over MARBÉRICA. But the threat soon disappears and pleasant sounds are heard in
the distance that seem to come closer and closer and ultimately rise to a climax of
a euphoric dance of joy.
