February 18, 1943, Sophie Scholl and her brother Hans entered the University of Munich with a pamphlet-filled suitcase. As founding members of the “White Rose”, a non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany, they had authored these pamphlets themselves: their sixth such publication that called for opposition to Hitler’s regime.
The pair scattered the pamphlets at the threshold of classrooms throughout the university and finally, from the top of the staircase of the university’s atrium.

Frankie’s Place is the first from a set entitled Four Solos for Marimba. It is the most varied and longest of the four solos. It was also the first one composed and took the longest to write.
