Nico Muhly's Time After Time scored for Soprano Saxophone Marimba and Percussion. The work was composed in 2003 and lasts around 8 minutes. Time After Time was composed for the Yesaroun’ Duo (comprising multi-percussionist Sam Solomon & saxophonist Eric Hewitt) and marimbist Nancy Zeltsman. Muhly states that he set out to write a piece that was primarily energetic and rhythmically challenging enough for two percussionists and one honorary percussionist to play. The title refers to the fact that all the material recycles itself at different speeds. The Marimba’s long quasi-chorale lines proceed initially without noticing the rhythmic shifts and upheaval below. Halfway through the piece a jagged Marimba solo features the instrument’s precise dance-like qualities and after being joined by the Saxophone and Percussion propels the whole ensemble towards the rhythmic and harmonic excesses of the final section.

Wish You Were Here, written for the Boston Pops, pays homage to Colin McPhee, one of the first western musicologists to study Balinese gamelan, as well as to the great illustrators Carl Barks and Herge' (responsible for Donald Duck & Tintin, respectively). Muhly has written a completely romantic and fanciful gamelan-influenced piece. On top of this twittery and excited music, a long, lonesome melody unfolds. After a desolate interlude with severe, ship's-horn brass, the energetic patterns start again, and the long line returns, this time with a triumphant, revelatory ending.Arranged for orchestra, this piece has a duration of approximately 8 minutes.
