Three pomegranates : for two marimbas eight hands / Carl Vine.
Library shelf no. 785.684312/VIN 1 [Available for loan]
Work Overview
These three short movements are extracted from my Sonata for
Piano Four Hands (2009). It dawned on me while watching
Synergy!play music for a quartet on two grand marimbas that this
material was nicely comprised to fit its percussive sibling. On
closer examination almost!half of the original score could be
used with little alteration.
The three movements I've used are
called!Deuces,!Waltz!and!Toccata. Collectively they don't confirm
to any of the models normally used for collections of short
pieces, being uniformly neither dances, bagatelles, intermezzi,
nocturnes, studies, preludes, ! impromptus or mazurkas. It
finally dawned on me that they could only be pomegranates.
