Preludes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5
$33.00 – $39.00These much anticipated pieces appeal to players and audiences alike. They encompass a wide variety of stylistic writing, as Burritt exploits the technical and lyrical capabilities of the instrument.

Restless
$10.00 – $11.00A great introduction to many of the modern marimba techniques such as double lateral strokes. A short, sweet, and high quality “groove” piece influenced by minimalism.

Rhythmic Caprice
$14.00 – $17.00Perhaps this is the ultimate virtuostic show piece for a solo marimbist. Seven minutes of rhythmic momentum, colored with three “col legno” (with wood) effects.

Rumble Strips
$17.00 – $20.00As the title suggests, it is a musical depiction of the warning bumps or grooves often found on roadways. With its two-movement format of slow-fast, it could serve as an alternative program selection to Merlin.

Sara’s Song
$10.00 – $11.00Sara’s Song was written in 2005 for one of my dear friends’ daughter’s wedding, Sara Sartarelli. I believe the short work represents my feelings for the family as well as the emotional significance of this beautiful occasion.

Scirocco
