Marimba Feature. Composed by Daniel McCarthy. Score and parts. Duration 12:30. Published by C. Alan Publications (CN.01650).

Written for marimbist Michael Burritt, this virtuosic three-movement work is a first-rate piece of music. The solo marimba part is virtuosic and challenging. The electronics weave in and out of the solo and ensemble texture, sometimes providing a nice sustained, choral backdrop, sometimes providing an in-your-face back beat.

The electronics weave in and out of the solo and ensemble texture, sometimes providing a nice sustained, choral backdrop, sometimes providing an in-your-face back beat (as in Rokit!). You can hear a recording of "Concerto" on Daniel McCarthy's CD 'Song of Middle Earth' (also available from C. Alan).
