Clip no. 4 Jacob Druckman’s composition ‘Reflections on the Nature of Water’ (1986) for solo marimba was a commission from the American marimba-virtuoso William Moersch. During his career, Moersch has been a formative force in the American marimba literature by commissioning new compositions from a range of composers. ‘Reflections on the Nature of Water’ is an ode to Claude Debussy. The French composer’s ‘Preludes’ inspired Jacob Druckman (1928-1996) to compose one of the world’s most challenging compositions for solo marimba. Claude Monet’s paintings of reflections in water inspired Debussy to compose ‘Reflections in the Water’ from Images, Book One (1905). ‘Reflections on the Nature of Water’ is a very challenging piece: the composer knew exactly what he wanted to hear and was very much at home in the possibilities of the marimba. The notation, the dynamics, and the melodic and rhythmic characteristics of the piece are very complex. The piece consists of six movements, each with a distinctive mood. Each one expresses an aspect of water in nature.
