Rockaby by Ron Mazurek transcribed by Peter Jarvis, World Premiere March 28, 2011

Rockaby (2003) for voice and piano by Ron Mazurek, transcribed (2011) for voice and vibraphone by Peter Jarvis. World premiere of the transcription performed on March 28, 2011, on the William Paterson University New Music Series, directed by Peter Jarvis, Erica Tanner - soprano, Nicolas Doktor - vibraphone, video by Colin Rieser.

Program notes:
Rockaby is a pastoral and tender lullaby with text from a Polish folk song. A long chant-like melodic line is accompanied, at times, by a repeating bell-like timbre from the vibraphone. The work expresses an aspect of longing and sadness.
This version of Rockaby, Op. 14 (2011) is my transcription of Ron's original version (2003) which is for voice and piano. My transcription is among the many projects Ron and I were discussing and working on at the time of his passing. - Mazurek/Jarvis
