PROGRAM NOTES
     
 
Hoopdie (2001) Imagine if kids driving around the neighborhood listening to bass heavy techno and rap enjoyed really happy music. This fun, but highly virtuosic seven minute work is written for a five-octave marimba and a variety of percussion instruments; bass drum, tom-toms, suspended cymbals, hi-hat, brake drum, and wood block. The piece was composed for and is dedicated to percussionist Lindsay Reitzel.
