Motion

Motion cover

Motion is a beautifully simplistic 4-mallet vibraphone solo, featuring continuously running sixteenth-note melodic arpeggios in a pseudo-minimalistic style.  Set entirely in C major, the melody is delicately highlighted within the underlying arpeggiations as the piece progresses through its simple form of ABA'CB'.  This short work is suitable both as a performance piece or as an etude for technical development of various sticking permutations and the musical challenge of bringing out a melody within a more active accompanimental texture.
