Treespeak Percussion Ensemble - Sheet Music

SKU: CN.30630

The four movements of "Treespeak," Spring(ing), Summer, Fall(ing), and Winter, are a cycle: a cycle of the seasons, or the "seasons" of a tree’s life span, which even parallels the life span of a human. The voice of the tree is spoken through the vibraphone, which brings this performer to the musical forefront throughout the work’s duration. The marimbas and xylophone are the bark, branches, and trunk; the timpani, chimes, and glockenspiel color the soul behind the vibraphone’s voice as the tree’s roots; and the percussion represent leaves: ever changing, falling, and blooming until the tree speaks no more.
