Le' Dontanella
George Spicka
About this work:
Created for performance in conjunction with Modern, Jazz, and Interpretive Dance ensembles, most of the piece consists of 8-bar segments. Dissonance is create via the harmonic asymmetry of the vibe and marimba parts. Six of the 8-bar segments in the marimba part focus on C-minor, with the other 2-bars being Eb-minor. The vibes are mainly focused in Eb-minor throughout. For optimum effect, the vibes and marimba should be placed on opposite sides of the ensemble.
