A Message From The Emperor (For Two Speaking Percussionists)

A Message From The Emperor - For Two Speaking Percussionists

Martin Bresnick

Using text from Franz Kafka�s short parable �A Message from the Emperor,� this work describes, in the composer�s words, �a glorious being, never seen by his countless lowly subjects, who, from his death bed, dispatches an indefatigable messenger (a prophet perhaps) with a most important message - just for you. For various practical reasons however the message cannot possibly be delivered. And even if it finally arrived the one who sent it will have died long ago.� A Message from the Emperor is played and recited by two percussionists facing each other at a slight diagonal angle, with the marimba placed audience left and the vibraphone at audience right. For advanced players.
