== Program Notes ==
commission: Pat Hanley and the Webster Groves High School Percussion Ensemble; premiere: 1978 Music Teachers' National Association National Convention
This quintet instrumentation includes marimba (4 or 4 1/3), chimes, 4 slapsticks, 4 crotales (substitute glock bars), and hand clapping; four performers playing crotales encircle the audience accompanying the opening marimba solo which then moves into a melodic cross-rhythmic section for chimes and four hand clappers/slapsticks; this dissolves into the final section where the quintet shares one marimba playing in the style of an African Mbira, (thumb piano) commission: Pat Hanley and the Webster Groves High School Percussion Ensemble; premiere: 1978 Music Teachers' National Association National Convention
