Program Notes

The Concerto for Marimba and Wind Orchestra was written for percussionist Gustavo Miranda and was premiered by the Nicholls State University Wind Ensemble in 2020. The idea for the piece was to create a composition for Dr. Miranda to perform with local high school bands. The composition is in three movements (fast-slow-fast) and each movement can be played separately on a concert if desired. With the solo marimba part I chose to write for the instrument's rhythmic qualities rather than the melodic. However, the harmonic language of the piece allows for the soloist to be highly interpretive in their performanc
