Blue Rondo A'la Turk - Marimba and Drums

“The Blue Mountains” is a piece for Marimba solo inspired by one of Australia’s wonders: the Blue Mountains. Situated west of Sydney in New South Wales, Australia, the Blue Mountains are a rugged region renowned for their stunning landscapes, which include cliffs, eucalyptus forests, waterfalls, caves, and charming villages. The mountains derive their blue hue from eucalyptus oil droplets released by the trees, mixed with dust and water vapour. The underlying rocks are believed to be around 470 million years old, making them nearly ten times older than the Grand Canyon.
