Journey for Marimba and Piano is an advanced duo for marimba (5.0 octave required) and piano. Coley writes that he was "searching to write marimba music that would be more akin to what would be written for the piano," when generating ideas for this piece. Scored in an A B A" form, the A sections are characterized by flourishing, sixteenth-note arpeggiated figures alternating with octave figures in a 4:3 polyrhythm. In the A sections, the pianist provides the majority of the melodic and rhythmic variety, a change of roles for the traditional piano part. The B section is more subdued in character than its surroundings. Here, the pianist provides long, cantabile phrases in dotted quarter notes while the marimbist plays an active hocket that requires the flow of an advanced performer. After a brief marimba cadenza, a da capo progresses to an aggressive ending that culminates in a unison, ascending sixteenth-note run. Journey for Marimba and Piano is a virtuosic composition for an advanced marimbist. While the marimba part is difficult, the writing is idiomatic and the combination of voices creates an inviting appeal to marimbists and pianists alike.
