Satellite - duet for vibraphone and marimba

Benjamin Holmes

Satellite by Benjamin Holmes is an advanced level mallet duo with swirling marimba and vibraphone patterns and colors. Driving triplets throughout the work create a sense of momentum that mimics the rotation of the earth and its orbiting satellites. The triplets are occasionally altered through various metric modulations, representing a satellite's revolution around the planet. Performers’ abilities are challenged through sharp dynamic changes, quick timbre shifts, and interesting color combinations. Satellite is a whirlwind duo that will challenge even the most advanced players and enthrall audiences.Satellite ships as a printed, professionally bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or tablet viewing.
