Movement II starts and finishes with two canticles of the catholic church – “In Heaven” and “Heavenly Mother.” I composed this music while taking long walks through the city of Porto Alegre, RS (Brazil) during the last weeks of my mother’s life. The marimba cadenza has roots in the prayer “Gloria ao Pai” (Glory to the Father) and was inspired by an old choral composition of mine." - Ney Rosauro. Special thanks to the Orquestra do Theatro São Pedro (Antonio Carlos Cunha, conductor) and TV Educativa. Ney is using his M228 signature mallet.
