Composer: Joe Beam
Publisher: Innovative Percussion
Instrumentation: 4 Marimbas (4 octave)
Program Notes: “Palindrome” is basically through-composed for the first half of the piece. After the transitional roll section, the piece is in complete retrograde, thus creating the palindrome. “Palindrome” remains the same tempo throughout; however, the syncopation and time signature changes create a sense of changing pulse.
