My Three Chorales for solo marimba were written at different times as individual pieces, and not originally intended as a set to be played together. A Little Prayer and Light in Darkness were written when I was 13 years old, expressing my spiritual feelings and at the same time displaying a pleasantly relaxed dimension of the instrument. Giles is dedicated to a friend who was tragically killed in a climbing accident. All three pieces are in simple chorale style and take full advantage of the unique resonance of the marimba. A Little Prayer is recorded on the Rhythm Song album. Light in Darkness is the title track of the Light in Darkness solo album.
