Online Review
A 9:00,two-movement, 4-mallet marimba solo dedicated to Gordon Stout. The composer suggests a graduated set of mallets for Movement I, which is chorale-like, using traditional, independent, and ripple rolls. Movement II is more toccata-like, with very idiomatic arpeggiated figures and struck chords. Sticking indications are included end should be followed. A standard "concert-grand" marimba with a low A is necessary. Certainly a well-conceived and well-written addition to the modern recital repertoire for solo marimba. And certainly a challenge for the university-level percussionist with well-developed technical skills and mature musical concepts. - John Baldwin, Fall 1998 [1]
