Flash

Flash by Matthew Hindson; arranged for solo marimba and available to print instantly at home in digital sheet music format.

Flash was commissioned by Ars Musica Australis and was extensively revised for premiere performance and a Tall Poppies by Claire Edwardes in 2010.  It is a very fast, virtuosic showpiece, continually changing between regular sets of repeated notes and arpeggios, and more variable explosions across the instrument.  Hints of singing melodies briefly emerge, but only to be put back in their place by the ADHD rhythmic figures.
