Our first international collaboration, Blue
Motion is an exciting new piece for percussion duo by British
composer and percussionist, Stephen Whibley. It premiered in the United
Kingdom in summer of 2006 by the exciting new percussion duo Maraca2 from
Birmingham, UK.
The 9-minute work has a great
feel of drive and momentum with pulse remaining constant from start to finish.
With great contrast between the soft spacious sections and the impelling
rhythmic grooves, the piece demands coordination between hands and feet and
energetic communication between the two performers. Blue Motion is
a challenging performance piece of virtuosity, vivacity, virility, vibrancy,
vitality, and versatility!
This piece comes with a full,
bound score and includes all individual parts available for printing on included
CD-Rom.
