Tuba and Marimba; Dedicated to my good friend Mark Nelson
Angels’ Carillons is Nelson’s second commission for a tuba work from this talented composer from Argentina. Dr. Nelson premiered Tango Images for tuba and piano two years ago at a Pima recital and now has the honor and privilege of premiering this new work for tuba and marimba. It is a single movement work featuring some unusual effects such as imitating the wind by blowing air through the tuba and affecting the pitch up and down through changing the mouth aperture. The marimba has several virtuosic passages with four mallet playing while the tuba is featured primarily as a melodic instrument. Hints of tango rhythms and extensive syncopation make the unusual combination of tuba and marimba exotic and exciting.
