Program Notes

Mosaics was composed in 2010 for a performance at the Leigh Howard Stevens Summer Marimba Seminar in Ocean Grove, New Jersey, and revised in January of 2020. Having a strong background in two mallet performance, I wanted to compose a piece that utilized only two mallets, but drew inspiration from the possibilities allowed by four mallet technique. I based Mosaics on three pieces that were pivotal in my development as a marimbist: Furioso and Valse by Earl Hatch, Caritas by Michael Burritt and Rhythmic Caprice by Leigh Howard Stevens. Each movement is dedicated to a significant teacher/mentor who have influenced me greatly in both my personal life and professional career, and with whom the three pieces are personally associated. The first is dedicated to Linda Maxey, the second to Michael Burritt and the final to Leigh Howard Stevens.
