Program Notes
Vibraphone duets are fairly hard to come by, but Ringing Webs of Metal Threads is one that works. Both performers are required to use four mallets and have a good working knowledge of dampening, both with a mallet and the pedal. Other than brief recommendations in the beginning, Smith leaves dampening up to the performer with no indications in the music.
