Tsure Goes to the Beach is a set of three pieces for marimba that originated as a sort of lighthearted companion to another composition of mine, Tsure. Where Tsure is a rather complex piece inspired by an ancient morality tale, Tsure Goes to the Beach is just about a young woman going to the beach. In the first movement she excitedly anticipates a visit to the beach, and then when she gets there, she stands on top of a sand dune and marvels, marvels at the majesty of the open waters. In the second movement, “The Alien Sea,” the sea surprises her, “talking back” in its mysterious way. And then, in the last movement, “Changed?”, Tsure goes back home, perhaps changed a bit by the experience. The first movement can also be played as an individual concert piece.
