Feeling Better for Marimba Solo - 3 Min.; 2-Mallet-Solo for 4-Octave-Marimba, written for Gabriella Reyna; intermediate

Feeling Better might be the most expansive piece in my catalogue in terms of its reach. I can envision beginners using the piece to work out technical and expressive elements, and professionals playing the piece as a meditative, simple moment in an otherwise heavy program.
