Description:
"Variations on Abe" is an emotional and lyrical marimba solo. I wrote this piece in honor of Keiko Abe's compositions when I was given the opportunity to study with her in Japan in June 2023. The theme came to me in a dream. When I woke up, I quickly wrote down the theme and began improvising with it. Thus, the composition itself is highly improvised which allows the performer to make "Variations on Abe" their own. Thank you for supporting new music!
