Prelude to Paradise was written to reflect the composer's personal view of the chaotic events surrounding the end of days as they are depicted in the Book of Revelation. This impressive work for percussion orchestra is the epitomy of "tour-de-force" – from the four 4-mallet marimba parts to the blazing-fast scalar licks on the xylophone and vibraphone parts. As exciting to play as it is to listen to, Prelude to Paradise will have audiences on their feet begging for more once it's over.
