Winner of the 2025 Great Plains International Marimba Composition Competition

Pattr is a rhythmically driven work that features a continuous stream of sixteenth notes in the solo marimba part, creating a sense of motion and intensity. This driving texture serves as both a rhythmic anchor and a melodic engine, propelling the piece forward. Surrounding the soloist, the backing track adds rhythmic punctuation and textural contrast. Its contributions subtly evolve throughout the work, building tension and releasing it, all while supporting the marimba.
