Program Notes
Unleash the Fury is a tour-de-force for marimba quartet. The driving accented sixteenths throughout create an atmosphere of tension and excitement. A slow, mournful rolled section is found in the middle of the piece in a quasi-fugal setting. The piece concludes with the excitement of the opening of the piece.
