Compendium is one of the most challenging and rewarding works in our catalog. With this masterwork, the composer of the epic Twilight Offering Music asserts himself as a powerful voice among today's composers. This aggressive and exciting work features an original, sophisticated structural design and an idiosyncratic harmonic language. Though virtually all keyboard parts can be executed with two mallets, Wilkins pushes two mallet technique to its limit with extended double-stroke passages and wide leaps in rolled, legato melodic lines. This thirteen minute work is written for a full keyboard ensemble (including bass marimba), plus timpani and a wide range of battery instruments.
