This piece is typical of Kondo's "sen no ongaku" or line music. It is scored for flute, clarinet, marimba and piano. The piano part can be played by a second marimba. Unfortunately, I don't think this is one of Kondo's better works. If you want something in the same style, I suggest his piece named STANDING (1973) published by Zen-On. It is scored for any three instruments as long as they belong to different families. I have heard and played it mostly with marimba, flute and piano.
If you aren't looking particularly for a mixed chamber group work, you could consider Kondo's two marimba trios. First is LUSTER GAVE HER THE HAT AND HE AND BEN WENT ACROSS THE BACKYARD (1975) and second is A VOLCANO MOUTH (1986). Both pieces are published by University of York Music Press in the UK.
LUSTER GAVE HER THE HAT... is typical Kondo - interlocking rhythmic parts and was written for Atsushi Sugahara's Three Marimba Group. VOLCANO is mostly a soft rolled piece commissioned by Sumire Yoshihara. VOLCANO has been recorded by the Mexican percussion group TAMBUCO.
