Minoru Miki’s Marimba Spiritual - performed by DoubleBeats (percussion duo)

#NaxosMusic #ClassicalMusic #DoubleBeats
DISCOVER: Naxos.lnk.to/8...
With ‘Two Marimbas in Berlin’, award-winning duo DoubleBeats presents world premiere recordings of four pinnacles of the keyboard repertoire and two modern classics in their own remarkable arrangements for marimbas and percussion.
‘Marimba Spiritual’ expresses anger and sorrow at the suffering experienced by those caught up in famine in Africa in the early 1980s. The first section is a requiem to those lost; the second offers hope in the form of a ‘lively resurrection’. The rhythm and note patterns are notated, but there is room for interpretation in the percussion parts, where only relative pitches and tone qualities are noted. The patterns for the second part are taken from the festival drumming of the Chichibu area, northwest of Tokyo, and the performers are asked to pay special attention to the balance between the two parts.
Release Date: January 2022
