l Five on Five—Stephen Primatic. Stephen
Primatic's Five on Five is an aggressive mallet
ensemble piece for 5 players on one 5-octave
marimba. Because of the number of players, each
performer must be aware of their space and move
quickly so as not to disrupt the other performers.
This makes for an artful, amusing, and unique
spectacle. The opening section is propelled forward
by constant 16th notes that are passed around the
ensemble. The middle section is comprised of
slower, more reflective musical material with an
ostinato split between the bottom two players and
lyrical, melodic material in the other players. The
third and final section is a return to the unrelenting
16th note material of the opening.

Dreams is a marvelously arranged piece for high

mallet instruments creating a reverberation effect
by passing around snippets of 16th notes. The
body of the piece is a funky groove interspersed
with cadence-style breaks in the battery. The intro
motif sneaks in here and there and fully reappears
at the end. Very cool!
