    About the work
    Palpitations is a challenging marimba duet comprised of sweeping arpeggio passages, groove centered melodies, and echoing rhythms that work together to create a bigger picture to the listener. I landed on the title Palpitations when writing the beginning section of the piece. Although the music remains in a simple meter, the pulse is felt differently throughout, and the echo effect between the marimbas creates an unsteady feeling that constantly builds and releases tension. The following section of the duet begins much more stable and develops a groovy bassline and melody. As soon as the pulse stabilizes, it is thrown off into odd- meter licks that give the feeling of an entirely new tempo. In the 3rd section of the piece, the two players begin to create their own ‘echo chamber’ that develops and expands throughout. When writing this section, I imagined falling asleep listening to a heart monitor, where the imagination would take a single tone and expand on it until it became something different entirely. With moments of stability and instability, Palpitations has the opportunity to create a thrilling listening experience to the audience.

    Is it called Palpitations because of the heart attack you have when you see all the splitting in the music. I love marimba

    I love the texture that you layer in with the lower part of the marimba when you do. It’s such an enticing sound that draws me in to listen to the rest of the phrase just to hear more.
