NOTE
The title “KYO-EN” means an improvisational and spectacular musical session
with marimba and Japanese drum. Originally intended for marimba and O-daiko,
the part of the piece played solely by marimba was reworked as a solo marimba
piece. In composing this piece, I was particularly inspired by the Bandokoro
Great Falls, a 40-meter drop located on Mt. Norikura in Nagano, Japan.
I expressed the dynamic and overwhelming splash of the waterfall and the
cherry blossom petals that fall there.
Composed in September 2006
