Lukas’ Lexicon

Francisco Perez

Med-Advanced Marimba solo

Instrumentationa; Solo marimba (low A)*

*Includes optional notes for a 5-octave (low C) marimba.

Francisco Perez describes Lukas’ Lexicon as “a short study in chordal motion for the intermediate marimbist.” Musically, this motion is driven by a catchy groove, interspersed with more lyrical chorale phrases. These wildly contrasting moods are inspired by Perez’s cat, Lukas, who was adopted during the composer’s college years.

This work calls for quick changes of style and technique, providing a well-rounded and easily-listenable piece of repertoire for recitals, lessons, or contests!

Lukas’ Lexicon ships as a printed, professionally bound folio with a full color cover.
