Vibraphone & 4 Tom Toms & 2 Suspended Cymbal & Sizzle-Cymbal

Program Notes

The music develops based on the vibraphone's A (real note A). I tried to use long notes to express tension, and 32nd notes to express emotional ups and downs. The heavy use of unstable intervals such as augmented fifths and major sevenths gives it the impression that it is a modern work in terms of musical genre. I hope that the method of playing the same notes repeatedly is propulsive and energetic, and that the timbre of the interaction between the vibraphone and tom is studied. In the future, it will be a work that can be used by a wide range of students, including professional percussionists. I would be happy if it became part of your repertoire.
