"Comet" is a duet for marimba and vibraphone that explores the captivating and mesmerizing qualities of irregular time signatures. The piece is composed in 7/8 time signature, with sections that switch to 6/8 and 5/8 time signatures, creating a thrilling and unpredictable rhythmic landscape.
The title "Comet" refers to the idea of a celestial object that travels through space, leaving behind a trail of shimmering light. The performers aim to evoke this image through the use of shimmering textures and sparkling melodies, creating a sense of movement and momentum.
The piece opens with a pulsing marimba ostinato, which is answered by a vibraphone melody. The two instruments then engage in a rhythmic dialogue, trading off melodies and interlocking rhythms. As the piece progresses, the time signature changes, creating a sense of tension and release

Sorry to bother! I noticed that the ending in this recording seems different from the score my school purchased! Am I hearing it right and if so, may I know which version we should play? Thank you!

[@HolmesPercussion]

@@reilim2585 Hi! Yes in the recording the vibes play a high D natural at the same time the marimba plays the last note/low G. I thought it sounded good at the time, but feel free to take it or leave it.

This is super good! May I know where to find the score for Indigo? The link provided in the video is no longer working and my high school would like to purchase the piece.

[@HolmesPercussion]

Indigo is being published, but not out yet. We will post on the video as soon as it’s up.

[@AndersFalkenberg]

Is this for 5 octave marimba?

[@HolmesPercussion]

Yes it is!

[@smith.tyrell20]

Is this available for purchase?

[@HolmesPercussion]

Hopefully soon - the score is still in kind of a rough shape. Will definitely post it here when it is.
