Ostinato
Ostinato is another creative marimba solo by composer and percussionist, Jesse Monkman. As the title suggests, it's built on a repeating pattern introduced in the left hand. This pattern places accents on a cycle of beats which will make this an outstanding technical etude as well as recital piece. Its lyrical qualities placed over the groove-based patterns make this a good workout for intermediate level 4-mallet players and a driving, accessible piece for audiences to enjoy.
This piece ships as a printed, professionally bound folio with a full-color cover.
This approximately five-minute, unaccompanied marimba solo is a technically challenging composition that originated as an exercise for four-mallet dexterity (according to preface notes by the composer). The C-minor tonality, left-hand ostinati, and syncopated right-hand melody permits the performer to develop independence between the upper and lower voicings. The composition would lend itself to solo recital material for the younger college undergraduate.
