Sara’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.

This 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.

This new work for 5-octave solo marimba draws its inspiration from Emily Carr’s painting of the same name. Both aim to express the sorrowful occasion of trees being cut down and falling to earth. – Percussive Notes

Bahr’s highly idiomatic writing simultaneously exploits both the marimba’s articulate and resonant capabilities. The player needs a 5.0 octave instrument and strong technique. (Intermediate to Advanced)

Composed in 1950, Fissinger’s “Suite” is the first polyphonic work for unaccompanied marimba, combining both traditional tertian and quartal/quintal harmonies to evoke introspection, anticipation, panic, and serenity.

This solo for the advanced marimbist is in four movements. It contains the famous “Piece for Marimba” (mvt. 2), as recorded by Gordon Stout (“Music for Solo Marimba”). Each movement is in a contrasting style, making this an ideal recital work. 4.3 marimba is required.

This energetic piece gives marimbists the opportunity to show off their octaves, as they permeate the wild and sometimes “raucous” texture. There are also plenty of opportunities to exercise musical expression, especially during the chorale.

An evocative short, somewhat virtuositic work which is great as a change of pace in a recital program or as an encore. Programmatically depicts the flight and demise of a butterfly. Very effective.

This single-movement programmatic work for solo marimba is a depiction of “the daily activities in the precarious life of the kudu”, a type of antelope which dwells on the plains of Africa. From serene rubatos to panicked obligatos and running ostinatos, this piece promises adventure.

A 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.
