This piece is in three movements/songs: Key Vaca, The Matecumbes, and Tavernier. Drawing from the poetry of Stephen Cochran, Adams attempts to portray the beauty, mystique, and caprice that he has come to know through his many visits to these islands. The percussionist moves freely between the two mallet instruments. Only two mallets are required, but four mallets are useful for large leaps.
