Blue for Solo Vibraphone Franzke which exploits the rich sonoritiesComposer: Rob Cossom Instrumentation: Vibraphone (four mallets) Grading: A. M. E. B. 8 ABS 5 (Advanced) Blue is an extraordinary new work for vibraphone. Evocative and musically challenging. Cossom brings his unique take on percussion composition to the next level with this solo work. Composer's note The title references the sonorous blue of summer sky; the unfathomable blue of western ocean; the unwinking blue of deep sapphire.
