Here is the 2nd movement of my new Marimba Concerto for Marimba and Wind Ensemble, Moon Chasers, with the UNT Wind Orchestra under the direction of Dr. Andrew Trachsel.
This music is based on an earlier marimba solo I wrote for my wife, Ewelina, with the same name - "Moon Chasers." The title refers to two people in love separated by distance and only connected by the moon.
The opening section in F# minor is a transition from the first movement and brings the audience to the main Moon Chasers’ theme. I utilize the piano, harp, celeste and vibraphone for imagery of a starry night as the moon moves across the sky.
The full marimba concerto will be released by Musicon Publications soon! musiconpublications.com
Thank you for listening! Enjoy!
