Dreamscape by Jonathan Ovalle

Dreamscape for Solo Marimba and Percussion Ensemble is a through-composed work which contains two movements performed in succession without pause. Much of the material in this piece draws its influence from short memories of my own dreams and from the format many of my dreams seem to take which is sometimes a very odd juxtaposition of events in succession, often with little coordination or without any direct connection to each other. The first movement is, at times, very delicate and is a somewhat romantic slower-moving palate of colors that seeks to feature the marimba in a very lyrical style over a bed of washy percussive sounds. The second faster movement is influenced by dreams of mine that have included fighting or a chase scene. The linear marimba writing, the very aggressive percussive interludes, the vibraphone/marimba interaction are all influenced by these events as experienced in a deep sleep cycle.

This piece comes with a bound score and a CD ROM that contains the individual parts.
