Michael Burritt - soloist
Produced by Connor Stevens and Chris Amick
spero means hope in latin and comes from the phrase, “dum spiro, spero” - when I breathe, I hope. During my travels this past summer while writing this piece I kept reflecting on the need for hope. It also struck me that when I do think of hope, I think about my students and young people everywhere who are the hope for the future of music and so much more.
I have wanted for some time to write a piece for solo drum and chamber ensemble. spero features muted tenor drum and snare drum in addition to cajon. The work is a nod to one of my favorite pieces in the repertoire, Mudra, by Eastman graduate and percussion legend Bob Becker.
spero is dedicated to Liz and Stephen Biggar for their kindness and enthusiasm for the arts.

his CD perpetual is something ethereal. that was back in 1999. since then I lost everything, and that's the CD I loved the most
Great tune. And that's totally the cajon to own...
The new Burritt version of "Mudra"! And do I hear some "Rounders" in there too? Congratulations! Really enjoyed it!
Wow !! Great composition and performance !!!!

Man. Every time I come back I hear something new and it is mind blowing! The writing is so intricate but so tasteful. Incredible work, MJB. This inspires me to practice every time without fail! Not to mention, I can feel the emotion in the story you are telling. It really brings me hope! I also get way too pumped at the end, haha!

This is an amazing piece. Was part of it inspired by Catching Shadows, in some parts at the start I can hear some of Catching Shadows
Fantastic piece! I really enjoy your work! I was wondering if there was a way to purchase this piece? I am preparing for my senior recital in the fall and would love this piece to be on it!
