Passacaglia Variations by Thomas Wubbenhorst

 Passacaglia Variations by Thomas M. Wubbenhorst is a four mallet solo scored for 4.6 octave (low E) marimba. This interesting piece works as a four mallet study or a standalone concert work. The piece begins with a simple statement of the passacaglia theme in octaves and builds in rhythmic and harmonic complexity. The theme develops into a four mallet figuration as it progresses through the variations.
