Britto (Part 1)

Amblance Bay for marimba trio is a short but deceptively difficult piece filled to the brim with syncopation, double stops, and an unrelenting tropical playfulness.  This recording was made with Finale 2009 and Audacity, using samples from Tapspace's Virtual Drumline 2.5 and 99Sounds' Hands Make Sounds library.

Dedicated to Michael "Bebop" Bebout.
