Product Details

Product Description

Throughout the composition the marimba soloist is traveling through different stages of a

hypothetical civilization. The first movement, entitled From Simple Origins, depicts the

crashing thunder with which the civilization rises to greatness. Rehearsal A, entitled like

the ticking of a clock, depicts the civilization settling into normalcy. At the end of the first

movement there is the cadenza. The cadenza allows us to develop a cyclical view of the

progression of the civilization. The music occurring before the cadenza represents the first

occurrence of civilization within a given country/nation. This first occurrenceof civilization

has come to an end due to seemingly natural causes when the cadenza begins.The second

movement, entitled Retrograde, depicts the second occurrence of civilization. The word

Retrograde indicates the second occurrence is similar to the first occurrence but takes

place in reverse. This is echoed in the musical material. The second occurrence of civilization

is less healthy than the first and results in war which takes place in the third movement, titled

An Utterance of the Sound of War. The war comes to an anticlimactic end with a quiet marimba

tremolo ending the composition.
