My Beautiful Chaos (solo version)

Thomas R. Marceau

Advanced Marimba solo

Instrumentation: 

• Marimba—low C

"Beautiful chaos" is how composer Thomas R. Marceau and his wife often refer to their two oldest boys. In this advanced work for solo marimba (derived from the duet version by the same name), Marceau intricately weaves two lines into relationships at once disjunctive and harmonius. Tender, charming, and full of life, My Beautiful Chaos will leave a lasting impression on the listener while challenging the performer to the highest levels of musicianship and 4-mallet mastery.

My Beautiful Chaos was originally commissioned by marimba virtuosi Gordon Stout and Larissa Venzie. It ships in a printed, professionally bound folio with a full color cover.
