“Work and Day” is a miniature for two percussionists: one playing two differently tuned mbiras (also known as kalimbas or thumb-pianos), which rest on a timpani drum for resonance, and the other playing xylophone. The piece pays homage to Tristan Murail whom I had the honor of studying with at Columbia University. The title and the musical material make reference to the opening of his cycle of pieces “Les Travaux et les jours” for solo piano, which I had the pleasure of working on in France before becoming a student of Tristan’s.
