For the Fleeting Moment by Aaron Trewitt

Aaron Trewitt’s For the Fleeting Moment was written in commemoration of his and his wife’s ten year anniversary. Trewitt describes his composition as “a meditation on a the expeditious nature of life’s own fleeting moments.” Trewitt attempts to evoke a sense of playful nostalgia from the lightheartedness of the main theme, to the country-inspired groove in the reprise. From a performance standpoint, there are many opportunities for the soloist to develop their skills in mallet dampening, a tricky but effective way to control the articulation of the vibraphone.
