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.

Rhythm Song
$14.00 – $17.00Elements of African, Latin, Gamelan, and Jazz Fusion. Can be performed as an unaccompanied solo or with any number of doublings in unison or at the octaves. Great for marimbistic get-togethers when several players know the work.

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
$14.00 – $17.00This piece is dedicated to marimba virtuoso She-e Wu who implored Burritt to write something “over the top”. The title means “hot desert wind” and refers to the intense swirling character of the melodic lines.

The Offering
$11.00 – $13.00A short, yet solemn work. This piece offers a perfect opportunity for the player to experiment with tone color and rubato while showing-off the resonance of the instrument.

Tune for Mary O.
$10.00 – $11.00An unusually lyrical work with a minimalistic influence. Based on Irish folk themes, “Tune for Mary O.” is a fine recital work that uses a blend of lateral sticking techniques to create melodic and accompanimental patterns.

Variations on Lost Love
$14.00 – $17.00A beautiful to berserk theme and variations, Variations is a large scale work in four sections that has advanced technical challenges, but is within the reach of a good four mallet player. Lyrical use of the one-handed roll in octaves for a principal melody.

Virginia Tate
$14.00 – $17.00Truly a beautiful addition to solo marimba literature. While technically accessible to the intermediate player, advanced players can also enjoy the musical possibilities this piece offers.
