The great percussionist Evelyn Glennie commissioned this work as part of a project called 50 for 50 in celebration of her 50th birthday. Each of the works is for solo instrument and of 50 bars

A tour de force for solo marimba exploring many techniques with unrelenting rhythm and moments of erie repose. Just like its title, it makes the marimbist run all over the instrument!

A study in marimba textures and techniques, set as characteristic variations on a charming theme introduced as a gentle tremolando chorale, Variations and Romp is a virtuoso tour de force.
