Caritas

Caritas is a three-movement piece that employs a traditional harmonic language throughout. The first movement, titled Mystic, employs rapid double lateral and sequential sticking patterns that create a blurred effect while maintaining a strong rhythmic pulse. The second movement, Solemn, is a chorale that employs one-handed, traditional, and double lateral rolls. The third movement, Majestic, is a dance-like conclusion that has rapid arpeggiated figures in the left hand as well as octaves and sequential sticking patterns.
