Program Notes

Review

Emil Richards derives a lot of "mileage" out of his "Friend Eileen," presenting her in the guise of a four-mallet marimba solo and also as a marimba sextet. Both versions use lush, pop-style chords voiced in close harmony in a homophonic texture. The scores to both the solo and the sextet omit dynamic indications, expression marks, or tempo indications, inviting the imagination of the soloist or the ensemble director. Those wishing to add to their knowledge of the jazz harmonic vocabulary will benefit from studying the chordal structures found in these pieces. - John R. Raush[1]
