Description
Aptly named for the lustrous black volcanic glass, Obsidian mixes the glitter of the metals with the darkness of Marimba and Timpani in an enigmatic feel. Written with great flexibility towards the size of the ensemble, Obsidian can serve as a full large-ensemble work, or stand alone as a melodic piece with only keyboard instruments and Timpani.
