about

From the composer, David Martynuik:

Located east of Lutonia, the country of Slablóblia is of no strategic importance geographically and lacks any type of natural resources that would be considered of value. In addition, the one access road has a slight inclination and given the general lack of motivation of native Slablóblianites is a disincentive for migration. All of these factors have combined to cause this little known country to remain fairly isolated. However, there is a rich (if not always logical) culture of stories, songs, and dances that has been passed down through many generations. This suite encapsulates many of the features of Slablóblian folk “art.”

Hćkt - Dance of the Angry River Niblet is, according to Slablobian folklore scholar Nigel Schabelkuchen, often mistranslated as "river nymph." This is wholly incorrect as nymphs are members of the faerie genus, whereas niblets are members of the manatee family. Normally very docile, the river niblets, found in the central valley area of Slablóblia, become highly agitated when their food source of marshmallow peeps is threatened. This usually occurs during the spring season when the local peasant population begins the peep harvest in preparation for Easter.

Slablóblian Folk Suite was completed in September of 2016 and premiered by Eastern Standard at the Southwest Horn Conference in Phoenix, AZ, on January 27, 2017.
