Finding Home

Ian Alward

Medium-Advanced Marimba Solo

Instrumentation: Marimba — low A

Finding Home by Ian Alward is an evocative work for solo marimba playable on a 4.3-octave (low A) instrument. Born during the COVID-19 pandemic, the piece represents the composer’s technical and musical explorations while confined to a smaller range instrument.

From the composer’s own words: “Throughout the piece you will hear struggle and pain that over time turns into beautiful discoveries.”

Finding Home ships as a professionally bound folio with a color cover.
