The Ones Who Helped to Set the Sun

The Ones Who Helped to Set the Sun is a solo marimba work that was composed in the summer of 2005 for marimbist Brenton Dunnington. It is a solo concert piece composed in the virtuoso tradition. The concert piece is the first in a set of six rhapsodies for solo marimba.

The work is composed in a tonal and improvisatory manner. Many intricate techniques are employed by the soloist, including the use of 6 mallets in the opening section. The work calls for immense technical and music prowess and demands great endurance from the soloist. This results in a grand show piece to be enjoyed by all.

The Ones Who Helped to Set the Sun is dedicated to Paul Watkins and all who helped through his final days.
