The Angels of Minamisoma

[vaisvil]

Minamisoma was a city in Japan that was destroyed by the earthquake and tsunami of 3/11/2011. The Angels of Minamisoma is a memorial piece for flute and vibraphone written in free tonality that is driven by melodic and harmonic tendencies that I heard / imagined while composing. The piece is realized in Garritan Personal Orchestra.

Very Nice. Almost reminds me of ancient Japanese court music, in which entrances of phrases were so carefully timed. The vibraphone and flute is also a very nice combination.

Only issue: where's the rest of it?
