Detailed Description

Percussion Ensemble - Medium Difficult

SKU: CN.24580

Composed by David Gillingham. Duration 5:30. Published by C. Alan Publications (CN.24580).

Glass Cathedral was commissioned by Rela Percussion with the intention of being performed on four glass marimbas. After hearing recordings of this particular instrument as well as videos and pictures, I thought immediately of the famous "Crystal Cathedral" in Garden Grove, California. The structure is made of steel with over 12,000 panes of glass and houses one of the largest pipe organs in the world and has been a perfect venue for large choirs and orchestras. Hence, Glass Cathedral seeks to reflect such a magnificent structure and performance venue by using "glittering" passages of the glass marimbas against slow and sustained organ and chant-like lines.
