The four short tunes that comprise Summer Songs were created for my friend Erik Forst who requested something fun to perform that both utilizes some of the unique capabilities of the marimba and acts as a pedagogical tool for his students. They utilize simple musical source materials, like singable melodies and basic song forms, combined with opportunities for an aspiring marimbist to simultaneously work on both basic and extended techniques. I composed this collection of concise character pieces throughout the summer of 2024 and was inspired by various locations across the United States, including the awe-inspiring mountains of the Grand Tetons, the bustling downtown of Chicago, and a tranquil seaside scene in coastal Massachusetts. – Sean Connors
