While writing the latest marimba commission, I took a small detour to study pieces for ways of moving through minor keys. I’ve always loved this piece (Chopin Piano Prelude, Op. 28, No.4), and didn’t have the technical, transcription, and creative chops to play it on my marimba in my early days. Spent the last couple weeks working it out, full audio and video coming soon! - DOWNLOAD SHEETS Marimba Transcription now available, linked in bio. Free Preview or Digital Download with additional Resources, full video coming soon, thanks for the support! #hueiyuanpan #marimba #percussioncommunity

Engraving Begins. Pulled this little guy out of storage this weekend. At one point in time, this midi controller was always in my backpack. Fun fact: all of the #marchingpercussionplaybook was written on this controller. Starting the marimba commission and sending out preliminary sketches to the patrons of the project this week. Let’s see if I still remember how to engrave music 😉 - SOLO MARIMBA COMMISSION Interested in supporting the composition process for the first piece of 2020?

Cleaning up and prepping some parts to send to @pocomenosnark for a piece I wrote back in 2014 for solo voice, piano and horn entitled “The Desired Hour.” The piece is based on a poem by Michelle Brittan entitled “On an Airplane at Night While Another is Missing.” In the program notes, I explain how this was my introduction to a style of writing called “poetry of witness,” which offers a writer’s historical and cultural testimony in poetic form. Michelle had written the poem mid-flight, later explaining to me how she was moved by the then current story of the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370: “I’m hoping it speaks to the larger idea of empathy and loss, even as it takes issue with whether it’s possible to achieve such empathy at such a safe distance, as well as mortality being an equalizer of differences. Of course the topic at the surface is timely and there may be other things that could develop over the ensuing days and weeks, potentially making the poem dated by what it doesn’t know yet. And yet I feel a strange urgency because of that timeliness, and so I thought I’d share in the event this is something you might like to set to music.” Looking back in awe and gratitude to a life where I get to interact regularly with writers, musicians and artist friends in the creative collaboration process.

Shedding ideas for this next section of the new marimba piece. I hear a musical idea in my head, and then as I work out the part, I get ideas of how to make the harmony richer or create an inner voice. Also thinking about how this lays in the hands for the player and sounds to the casual listener. Sometimes takes a lot of shedding to whittle a large section into something small and usable. - Interested in becoming a patron for this #marimba composition?
