Bones, Op. 9 (2018)
two-mallet percussion
ca. 10:00
Program Notes
Bones is a collection of short, concert-programable works for two-mallet percussion that can also be used as etudes. These light-hearted works were written to be performed as either a four-movement work, as a selection of movements not necessarily in numerical order, or as single stand-alone pieces. I gave enough information to point the performer in the artistic direction of what I envisioned while writing these works, but I intentionally left the music ‘open’ enough to encourage personalized interpretations.
Movements:
I. Jolly Roger
II. Funny Bone
III. Wishbone
IV. Skeleton Key
