Johan Bridger (World-Premiere)

Poetic Fantasy

Poetic Fantasy is dedicated to percussionist, Johan Bridger. In a way, it is a sequel/short-extension to another solo marimba composition of mine which runs for about 40 minutes, Symphonic Poem. From the title, one can gather that this piece is not a factual statement, but a poetic description of an abstract feeling. Structurally, it is loosely an A-B-A-B form, though it should sound 'free', like a wanderer dwelling in impression and expression.
