Variations on Japanese Children’s Songs
Keiko Abe (b. 1937)

This piece is one of my favorite works for percussion. I find new things to enjoy every time I play it, and I feel that it brings out the wonderful, dark sound of the marimba very well. I highly admire Abe’s works, as they always have such a beautiful mix of energy, innovation and freedom.
