South Kolora is a lyrical solo marimba chorale by Alex Stopa characterized by a beautiful poem about the circle of life written by the composer’s great grandfather. Included in the sheet music are both versions for 5-octave, and 4.3-octave marimbas. The warmth and beauty in this piece are timeless, and it provides a wonderful vehicle for marimbists to study voice leading and roll quality.
