A wonderful composition for Cimbalon a traditional Eastern European instrument by Per Nørgård. Completed in 1979 Isternia is a terrific 12 minute work featuring warm and rich changing tones and textures. Isternia is a beautiful traditional hillside village in the north of Greece and this piece reflects this character of this sun kissed locale. Though this piece is specifically intended for Cimbalon it can be adapted for Marimba.
