Program Notes

When I composed Song Book, Volume 1 for solo marimba in 2011, I did so with an emphasis on songwriting techniques as opposed to academic, compositional structures. Through this songwriting lens, I created little “tunes” with simple melodic and rhythmic hooks, some of which were conceived away from the marimba, through singing. With Song Book, Volume 2, I wanted to stretch the boundaries even further. This collection of five songs requires the marimbist to play and sing simultaneously, featuring the marimba as a singer-songwriter instrument, much like an acoustic guitar or piano. It is my hope that Song Book, Volume 2 helps expand the scope of the marimba beyond a solo, classical instrument, and demonstrates the instruments versatility within the songwriting genre. Song Book, Volume 2 was commissioned by a consortium of 30 musicians whose support brought this music to life. The consortium was organized by percussionist and singer, Ben Pitt.
