Akemi Naito SELECTED COMPOSITIONS
Memory of the Woods (2000) 10'
Marimba
Commissioned by New Music Marimba
Premiere: May 31, 2000, William Moersch South American Tour, Urguay
William Moersch, marimba
Published by HoneyRock (January 2001)

When I was asked to write a new piece for solo marimba, my thoughts and imagination turned first to the instrument itself. In order to write what I hoped would be a deep and spiritual work for this beautiful instrument - the marimba, I drew upon inspiration from a symbol and image of timelessness, the woods. 

It was scored for a 5 octave marimba.
