The Cruel Waters by Adam Silverman

"The Cruel Waters is a work for three marimba in which a turbulent environment emerges form constant overlapping and interlocking of instrumental lines. Initial ideas for the piece came from trying to create new textures for the marimbas that are both virtuosic and idiomatic, creating the sound of a "supermarimba" through combining the three identical instruments. The sound that results, form from flowing arpeggiations and chordal rolls that swell and decay, made me think of roiling waters undulating in a storm at sea.
This work was commissioned by Troy University for premiere by their percussion ensemble at the 2015 Percussive Arts Society International Convention. The music is dedicated to T. Adam Blackstock and the Troy University Percussion Ensemble with gratitude and admiration, and to Brian Nozny, to whom special thanks is extended for his musical and editorial advice."
