    Purple Gap

    ← Back to Works

    Premiered 2022 by Corey Sittinger as a part of Penn State's Vibraphone Century Festival.

    Program Notes:

    Purple Gap explores a sustained, sentimental sonority. The piece opens freely. The opening harmony fades in softly and slowly. The piece begins to grow in speed and intensity until releasing into its most full and vibrant moment. The opening harmony then slowly fades away as the piece moves on.
