Imbrications - David Reyes
Imbrications - piece for mallet percussions trio. By David REYES.
Glockenspiel, vibraphone, marimba 4-1/3, 2 shakers.
Level: very hard, 3rd cycle of musical studies.

At the beginning of the piece, the main theme is introduced by the vibraphone. Everything that follows is in perpetual motion until the final part, which is much calmer, as if we were quietly contemplating everything we had built before..."
