Written for solo marimba, "Ilijas" is an engaging composition that begins and ends with unmetered cadenza-like passages and harmonies that conjure up images of a cymbalon playing music in a Hungarian vein. These frame a contrasting middle section that incorporates rhythms in 5/8, 7/8, 9/8, 11/8, 13/8, and 15/8 meters reminiscent of the folk-inspired rhythms one encounters in the music of Béla Bartók. This tuneful work requires a marimba with a low E-flat and the attention of a mature performer. Most of the writing features a right-hand melody with left-hand accompaniment and a melodic line cast in octaves. Feats of coordination, such as playing the right hand in a steady tempo while the left hand plays in a free, rubato style will challenge a good college marimbist. The rewards of a successful performance of this very approachable piece, however, should make the time and effort required to overcome its difficulties worthwhile. - John R. Rausch, December 1998 [1]
