{"product_id":"wandering-josh-gottry","title":"Gottry-Wandering-M","description":"A collection of continually changing arpeggiations and melodic ideas, Josh Gottry's \u003ci\u003eWandering\u003c\/i\u003e is a delicate and beautiful work for solo marimba.  The opening section is set primarily in 7\/16 time and uses varying phrase lengths and occasional meter changes to establish a comfortable yet unpredictably repetitive ostinato.  Three primary ideas are presented and intertwined before a brief interruption by a more aggressive rhythmic chordal section.  Quickly returning to the original material, the line works its way down to the bottom of the instrument then gradually ritards into a three-and-a-half octave arpeggio of an ambiguous dominant-function chord.  A more relaxed and peaceful melodic section is now allowed to surface as a contrast to the perpetual ostinato.  Still, several arpeggiated figures begin to emerge with increasing frequency before the melody eventually gives way to a reprise of the opening material.  As before, the arpeggiations work their way to the bottom of the instrument and the piece slowly ritards before concluding softly on a low C-sharp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of players - 1\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty - Medium (four mallets, 5.0 octave includes cues for 4.3 octave)","brand":"C.
