A duet written for marimba and selected woodwind instrument presented with marimba and vibraphone. This advanced chamber work was written to depict the often overwhelming nature of a early adulthood. T he piece begins with trial and tribulation and introduces a lamenting melodic figure that searches for purpose and resolution as aggressive and dissonant figures are seemingly around every corner. A perfect recital-ending piece that will please any audience member as well as challenge both players. This piece was continued and completed thanks to the musical, compositional, and personal inspiration of Christopher Deane of the University of North Texas. |

A duet for the beginning marimbist and selected woodwind instrument or vibraphone, this short chamber work focuses on exploring different musical styles that are structured in ABCBA form. The segments, thus piece, are purposefully somewhat brief to make the style contrasts more tangible for the entry-level player. The instrumentation is left open for greater chamber opportunities for the marimbi st. The styles utilized are adagio, allegro dance in 5/4, and a dance in 9/8. The woodwind player will be challenged by the key signature (C# minor and E Major) and contemporary melodic figures. Certain musical elements lend this piece to precede another Eagle work: To Perseverance, which is also published through Bachovich Music Publications. This delightful new chamber work is easily received by a wide audience and can be enjoyed by all level of players. |
