GIF Me Five – for solo marimba

“GIF Me Five” is inspired by friendship.  Feeling happy in a simple way and sharing that with friends or family.  Then, those activities totally create a reminiscent moment or time of life to look back upon.  When you listen to GIF Me Five, you should be taken on an adventure of emotions like this 😊 It opens up with a melody, bass line, and groove..  The middle sections move between familiar, happy themes and the more reflective sounds of remembering the past.  The work ends by stating the theme again with more energy in a section labeled “I am SO HAPPY!,” and with one final statement of the theme in a quiet and somber style, we are remember how happy we are with our friends and family.
