Vignettes
for marimba quartet
Program Notes
Vignettes is a marimba quartet inspired by the art of photography. Each of the four vignettes are intended to be a musical setting for four photographs contrasting in color, setting, and texture, but sharing common themes such as tone and point-of-view. Performers are encouraged to project their own images or colors onto a backdrop during Live performances so that the shapes, colors, and textures of each vignette are consumed both audibly and visually by the audience.
