KISEKI for solo marimba

Mayumi Sekizawa  

The title "KISEKI" means the path we have taken and the path we are going to take. In our lives, there are good times and bad times. The principle of life is that the unforgettable joys and the sorrows we want to forget happen equally in our lifetime, and in the end, they all come down to zero. I composed this piece in the hope that there would be a handful of happiness left in that zero. I hope you will find traces of life in the contrast between the intense and passionate parts and the lyrical and romantic parts, with a tango-style rhythm.

Range: 5 octaves (C-C)

Duration: approx. 4'30"
