Composer notes:
'Heirlooms' for piano and percussion duet (marimba/vibraphone) was commissioned by Trichotomy for their 2021 project with Brisbane-based percussionist Nozomi Omote. The difficulty level is aimed at strong high
school players, while also being entertaining and engaging for university students and professional players. The piece was written during the Covid-19 pandemic, at a time when I was unable to leave Australia, visit my homeland of Ukraine, see my family or visit places important to me from my childhood. This was a time of reflection and recollection in my life, and every composition I wrote during this period had some melancholic personal aspect to it, perhaps as a subconscious attempt to keep in touch with
those dear to me but far away. Composed in three movements, each telling its own little musical story, Heirlooms is about the sense of family, connection, heritage and personal story.
