This arrangement of the traditional Austrian carol Still, still, still deliberately contrasts the quiet and contemplative character of the original. Set in an upbeat tempo, the piece presents the familiar melody within a lively and rhythmically animated framework for solo vibraphone.
While the tune remains clearly recognisable, the energetic setting recontextualises the material, placing it in a more extrovert and forward-moving sound world.
The arrangement allows for flexibility in performance and encourages an idiomatic, improvisatory approach based on chord symbols and form.
The work is included in the collection Alle Jahre Vibra and is recorded on the album of the same name.
