A Message From The Emperor. For Two Speaking Percussionists.
Instrumentation: Vibraphone, 2 Small Drums, Marimba, 2 Small Drums.
Using text from Franz Kafkas short parable A Message from the Emperor, this work describes, in the composers words, a glorious being, never seen by his countless lowly subjects, who, from his death bed, dispatches an indefatigable messenger (a prophet perhaps) with a most important message - just for you. For various practical reasons however the message cannot possibly be delivered. And even if it finally arrived the one who sent it will have died long ago. A Message from the Emperor is played and recited by two percussionists facing each other at a slight diagonal angle, with the marimba placed audience left and the vibraphone at audience right. For advanced players.
Format: Full Score - Large.
28 pages.
