Instrumentation: marimba, clarinet
Duration: ~15
Year of Composition: 2013/14
Program Note: The Legend Suite is named for the first movement of the set, which itself was named for the epical mood that it evokes at the opening. The second movement, Satiesque, is an homage to one of my favorite composers and time periods. Spanish Dance, the third movement, is more Spanish-sounding than actually Spanish and proceeds in a typical dance form. The last movement, In Moto Perpetuo, is an etude in breath control for the clarinetist and a fast, climactic ending to the suite.
This piece was commissioned by and is dedicated to my friend, Andrew Eldridge.
