I remember hearing this in school. They were having us listen to the school bands performance for a performance later that week. I didn't care for the brass that made up 90% of the songs. They were kinda loud and obnoxious to me. But then there was one that stood out. This one. It was beautiful to me. I knew I wanted to add it to my music playlist. So I kept the name in my mind for the rest of the show, and once we got back to class, before we were dismissed to the busses and I lost access to the wifi (as I wasn't given the wifi password on the school laptop then), I opened youtube, punched the name in the search bar, added it to my playlist, and have loved it ever since. Thank you for such a beautiful song.
hello Mr. Tyson, i attended the UCA Percussion festival this past year, and was so thrilled that you could make it to the Farmington Day of Percussion. I enjoyed all of your work and your clinics. Thank you
@baconpatrol1 Sorry I'm just now seeing your comment all these months later. I appreciate it and I'm glad you like the piece. My recording of Firefish will be up soon. The UCA Percussion Festival this year (2011) will be on March 5th. If you're free, please come on out.
@sammysungsung Good comment. It's not meant to be terribly obvious, just slightly disorienting. The compound meter at the end of the piece (same material) is meant to be more driving (and obvious). The conflict between perceived meters relies a lot on the vibraphone (with C# offbeats, then melodic material after the 5/16). Unfortunately it is very low in the mix because it's farthest away from the mic (that's attached to the camera). The djembe pickups to the 3/4 downbeats are important, too.

Very nice composition, and such a lovely title. Excellent job to the marimba player!
Absolutely fantastic! When you came to Batesville and performed "Barely Contained" I fell in love with this piece!
