Bloom Suite for Marimba

The Bloom Suite, for solo marimba.

Part of the Bloom family

2013 · for solo marimba · 13'

Premiere — Flavio Tanzi · Parco della Musica, Roma · 2014-06-06

The Bloom Suite arranged for solo marimba. The cycling chords of the original sit comfortably under four mallets — what required intricate cross-string fingering on guitar becomes a steadier physical motion across the bars. Premiered by Flavio Tanzi at the Parco della Musica in Rome, and since taken up by Andrew Bliss, Nathan Matthews, Jet Kye Chong, and other percussionists.
