New Beginnings

This opening work was written for the percussion ensemble of Fanfare De Vooruitgang Stiphout, on the occasion of their 100th anniversary.

Note: The marimba parts are written for 4-mallets to provide additional challenge to the players. If this is too difficult, a division of these two parts is a good option to perform the work with 2-mallets and 4 players.
