Review
Caritas is a solo for a low-E marimba requiring traditional, independent and double lateral rolls. The three movements are "Mystic," "Solemn" and "Majestic." Each movement is "without meter indications in the hope that it will give the work a seamless visual concept." "Mystic" is marked at quarter note = 60 and for the most part is a series of thirty-second notes punctuated with ritards, accelerandos, crescendos and diminuendos. "Solemn" is a chorale with a strong sense of tempo at quarter note = 44. "Majestic" starts in a free improvised style and quickly progresses to a steady tempo of quarter note = 100. This tempo remains for the bulk of the movement but slows up towards the end. The ending, like the beginning, is in a free, improvised style. Caritas is an excellent solo for a mature marimbist with good four- mallet skills. Burritt always writes in an idiomatic style, and his knowledge of the marimba produces music that flatters the instrument. - John Beck, Dec. 1997[1]
