Notes & Instrumentation
Hypnos will surround you in an unfamiliar world. As expected from the title, the music portrays a hypnotic character. Allow your attention to drift with and against the music as the two instruments paint a picture of serenity. Linked by a cold and harsh middle section, Hypnos unveils a warm and mysterious atmosphere that is eager to accompany your thoughts.

Percussive Notes New Literature Review
This new work by Michael Iorio brings the listeners into a soundscape that is meant to relax them into a hypnotic state. The piece has no discernable melody, and instead builds upon harmonic structures and timbral differences between the instruments. It opens and closes with arpeggios and sustained tones between the instruments that are interspersed with a few quicker figures. The middle section is a little more chaotic, relying on faster triplet rhythms and syncopations.
The clarinet part will require the abilities of an advanced high school or undergraduate student. The vibraphonist will need a solid grasp of single independent, double vertical, and double lateral strokes. The pedaling is indicated throughout the work. The performers will need a strong awareness of each other’s part to allow the rhythms and soundscapes to line up and achieve their goal. The middle section will require intense concentration to allow the triplet rhythms to meld.
This is an excellent work that would go well in the middle of a percussion or clarinet recital. For a percussion recital it would be an excellent “palette cleanser” in the middle of more drum-centric works. Iorio has given the mixed chamber world a great piece that will allow audiences to hypnotize themselves in the sounds that are present.
