Argoru VI for Marimba is the sixth in a series of solo pieces for various musical instruments. It was commissioned by the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra for John Kasica, and premiered as part of the Chamber Music St. Louis - On Stage Series on March 28, 1988.
This short piece, like all the Argoru compositions (piano, cello, flute, viola, bass clarinet, alto flute) provides a musical platform for sheer virtuosic display.
The title, Argoru, comes from Twi, a language spoken in Ghana, and means "to play"
