Program Notes

Adapted from the second movement of Calissi’s solo marimba work “Windsong,” Windsong 2.0 adds a second marimba part for a tour-de-force showpiece for two percussionists. The fast-paced piece features shifting complex meters, paying tribute to the composer’s beginnings in drum set playing and his love for prog rock. The duo version is divided into two 5-octave marimbas giving both parts equal treatment of the melody with an enhanced accompaniment that is traded off between the performers.
