Stout’s composition for solo marimba is a beautiful tapestry of tonal sounds for five-octave marimba. Its level of difficulty is comparable to Stout’s Astral Dance. The work is about eight minutes long, and provides the marimbist the chance to showcase the beautiful sounds of the marimba, mostly in the middle and low registers. It is dedicated to and performed by Leigh Howard Stevens.
Great Wall (Recording)
$2.89This piece is a 6 minute wall of sound coming from the marimba – all apparently sounding like rolls, but many patterns are really “quasi-rolls” or repeated figurations that sustain the sound of the marimba with a rhythmic drive. (Duration 7:14). Sheet music available.
