Review

An 11:00+, five-movement, 4-mallet work for solo marimba. In the Preface, the composer explains the background of the work--"The dramatic art form of the silhouette theatre... has impressed me considerably during a study trip through Malaysia. For this reason I started on the island of Penang on the beach of 'BATU FERRINGHI' to sketch this composition for marimba solo as an impression of the dialogues, the recitatives and the rhythmic prose of the silhouette plays. Sound and phrasing potentialities of the marimba are especially suited for recreating the main characters of the silhouette theatre, as the demon king Rawana, his brother Laksama, the wore of the ruler Sita, the monkey king Hanaman and the Indian prince Rama. The thematic material of the five impressions is in each case assigned to these characters." Numerous advanced 4-mallet techniques are used throughout the work, induding the mandolin and independent rolls. No mallet choices or sticking indications are given, but certainly some sort of double-wrapped, multi-intensity mallet would be in order. Another of Siegfried Fink's well-written (technically and musically) performance pieces, certain to contribute positively to any university or faculty recital program. -John Baldwin, Fall 1988
