Marimbana Opus 95d: each Composer: Hummel Bertold
Marimbana' was composed in 1992 for the Brasilian, Ney Rosauro. The 1st movement - 'Flowing' - with its constant quaver figures represents an "African" perpetual motion featuring an imperceptible tendency towards higher frequencies with its varying meters and accents. The movement ends precisely one octave higher than the beginning. The 2nd movement - pochend (pulsating) - is characterized by a repeated major second (eb/f) paraphrased by fully chromatic lines - a short episode interrupts this beating of the heart, which subsequently continues another 21 times. 3rd movement: The attribute stockend ('faltering') determines the flow of this rondo movement, comprised of 3 main elements.
