"Walking Mallets" provides the percussionist with a fresh and innovative setting. Anders Astrand composed this work for vibraphone, flugelhorn, grand piano and three marimbas. All mallet players, with the exception of the bass marimbist, utilize four-mallet technique with particular attention to single alternating/double lateral strokes. The marimba and piano parts are minimalistic and accompanimental in nature, providing the listener with a sense of marking time or walking. The vibraphone and flugelhorn parts provide the main melodic interest in the form of written solos layered upon one another. The timbral palette of colors between all parts is spectacular.
