Inspi
red by so-called
minimalist ostinato music
thriving on fast textures
with slow, luscious
harmony, Dorff found this
an enticing approach to
composing for marimbas.
The work was
simultaneously premiered
in late 1985 by Nachiko
Maekane on the East
Coast, and by Brian
Prechtl and Hitoshi Maeda
on the West Coast. Each
dance etude has a
characteristic interval
and ostinato rhythm, and
may be performed by any
number of players.
