Copperline Breathing by Nicholas Papador

House Panther Press
 
A virtuosic piece for solo marimba and percussion quartet. This work was influenced by the music of Jacob Druckman and dedicated to marimbist Michael Burritt. It has many contrasting sections, dynamic levels, and graspable material for all players. Most certainly a great piece for college level ensembles requiring a higher level of proficiency on all instruments.

Solo 5 octave marimba
Player 1: marimba (4.3), congas, suspended cymbal, china cymbal, woodblock
