Darius Milhaud Concerto for Marimba and Vibraphone

Concerto pour Marimba et Vibraphone - D Milhaud - I, Anime

“Inyoka” is an isiXhosa word meaning snake. In South Africa, there are many venomous snakes, but none as deadly as the mamba. Consequently, the mamba is often synonymous with fear. This fear was the inspiration for “Inyoka.” The piece consists of four parts, starting with the hunting snake, "Mamba", followed by "Chase", and then "Neurotoxin" as the snake’s prey slowly dies. "Mamba" returns at the end, but syncopated, the snake now emboldened by a successful hunt. For tenor saxophone and piano. Cover photo by Izak de Vries.
