What a lively, exhilarating performance! Sadly, composer Minoru Miki (born 1930) died earlier this year - Oct 8th 2011. He was a fascinating pioneer in fusing Japanese Music and Western Classical Music. Incidentally, one contributor refers to this as a "song" - no, a song is something you SING, usually with a repeated verse and chorus. Miki's Marimba Spiritual can be called a PIECE or a WORK or an INSTRUMENTAL - but it's not a song!
