Zenith (Locke)
General Info

Description
Zenith uses the many timbres of the glockenspiel to paint a melodic picture in the mind of the listener. With the natural sound of the instrument (as well as a few extended techniques including bar dampening and setting a small coin on the bars) the ethereal and mysterious nature of the celestial comes to life.
