Remembering Belém

A unique incorporation of Brazilian dance rhythms into a work designed to emulate Bartok's music for a composition class. A truly one of a kind marimba solo. Don't miss out.

Program Notes

Remembering Belém is a student composition I wrote in Columbia, MO in 1994. At the time, we were studying Béla Bartók’s music in composition class, so I decided to incorporate Brazilian dance rhythms along with the required assignment to compose an arch-form piece.
