Program Notes

Catching Shadows (2013) is a mallet and percussion sextet commissioned by Michael


Burritt and the Eastman School of Music percussion studio. The work’s instrumentation
includes one 5.0 marimba, one 4.5 marimba (which can be substituted with a 4.3
octave marimba), two vibraphones, and two percussion parts. The middle section of
the piece also includes optional vocal parts for the players to sing.

Michael Burritt and I have become good friends and collaborators over the years, and
on a recent road trip to a gig, he said, “I’m in charge of the tunes!”

Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect!

He plugged in his iPod, and the first thing to play: Radiohead, then Dave Matthews,
then Earth, Wind & Fire. That’s when I discovered something cool about Mike: he’s as
much rock musician as classical musician. It just so happens he plays marimba.
Sometimes, I feel the same way.

With Catching Shadows, I thought about our road trip and decided to write a rock tune
inspired by Mike’s playlist.

- Ivan Trevino, Oct. 2013.

------------

The two marimba parts of Catching Shadows can be performed as a marimba duo, as
that’s how the piece was originally conceived.

Ivan’s catalogue includes music for solo marimba, chamber percussion, and mixed
ensemble. Sheet music is available at IvanDrums.com
