Description
In Taking Flight, Kyle H. Peters paints an honest and reflective picture of the little challenges and victories around leaving the nest for the first time.
Written for an advanced player on a five-octave (low C) marimba, the piece takes the listener on a journey—from unexpected trips straight to the ground to finally achieving flight on one’s own. The rubato nature of the work as well as the level of expression required to perform it paves the way for the player to tell his or her own story.
