Invitation to Be is an expressive vibraphone solo filled with sweetly dissonant chords and flowing melody lines that reminisce of jazz ballads. Sections highlight the melody with active rhythms and accents to bring a simple melody to life in a broad dynamic range. The idea of “touch” within this piece brings the player closer to the instrument and the sounds it makes, with rich harmony as a basis to find meaning within dissonance. A figure not only for music, but for living peacefully. The title Invitation to Be connects that figure with the sonority found within the music. The flowing tempo was conceived with the idea of a rhythm section supporting the soloist like a jazz ballad. Adam describes the title as open ended, but meaningful and encourages the audience to relax, take a deep breath, and enjoy.
