A duet originally written for marimba and selected woodwind instrument and now arranged for Axiom Percussion for marimba, vibraphone, and cimbalom.  This advanced chamber work was written to depict the often overwhelming nature of a early adulthood.  The piece begins with trial and tribulation and introduces a lamenting melodic figure that searches for purpose and resolution as aggressive and dissonant figures are seemingly around every corner.  A perfect recital-ending piece that will please any audience member as well as challenge the performers.  This piece was continued and completed thanks to the musical, compositional, and personal inspiration of Christopher Deane of the University of North Texas.
