Description

Again the idea of travel came to mind for this work (maybe I need a holiday!). Whilst not programmatic, it is merely suggested in the accompaniment – there is a feeling of motion – in both the linear bass line and the moving quavers in the treble. The marimba sits atop this motion with its lyrical, scalic melody.
