April 27, 2020 – Equal Simplicity for Vibraphone

Christopher Swist, Principal Percussion

In an encore Music Monday edition, Christopher Swist, offers this piece, inspired by Henry David Thoreau, as he shares with us this Thoreau quote:

“Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of Equal Simplicity, and may I say innocence, with Nature herself. I have been as sincere a worshiper of Aurora as the Greeks.”
-Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Christopher Swist has been the principal percussionist of the New Britain Symphony Orchestra since 1998 and performs with the Hartford Symphony Orchestra. He tours worldwide, is a composer, recording engineer, editor, teacher and Resident Artist at Keene State College. See his full biography at the link above.
