Four Faces is scored for 5.0 marimba soloist, four percussionists, and electric bass. Rhythmically extremely interesting, and not at all like any other music for marimba solo and percussion quartet. Check it out!

Incoming is a virtuosic composition for the two players, using the drumkit as a multiple percussion instrument. The drummer has the opportunity to improvise in different sections of the work, and requires the ability to solo in different and changing meters.

(for two Marimbas) Described by the composer as “fun, happy, crazy, and exciting all at the same time.” This piece offers a great opportunity for collaboration between two advanced players who enjoy working together.

Morphic Resonance is a difficult work for solo 5.0 marimba. As it morphs through many different styles and sections it will challenge the most advanced marimbist, while providing a rewarding musical experience.

A collection of 10 terrific pieces for four-mallet marimba ranging in difficulty from intermediate to advanced. They are between 2 and 6 minutes each and are based on very specific musical ideas, not specific techniques.

Outgoing (original version 2011) is scored for piano, marimba (5.0), timpani and two percussionists, and is approximately 9’30” in length. In instrumentation only, I had in mind the Sonata for Two Pianists and Two Percussionists by Bartok. The marimba part is the second piano part. There is a highly chromatic timpani part as in the Sonata. The percussion parts are really in effect a drum set part split into two parts, one playing the drums and one playing cymbals, thus completing the similarity in instrumentation to the Bartok Sonata. This is a broad and expansive work, encompassing a number of different styles of music and expressive capabilities of the exciting chamber group.

Outgoing 2 for large percussion ensemble, is an orchestration of the original version of Outgoing. A very exciting composition, with lots of groove, intensity, and fun sections. Highly recommended for the advanced college percussion ensemble.

The title, which essentially means “reflections on things from the past” doesn’t have much to do with the composition itself, Stout has said. Quondam Reflections is a tonal, multi-textural, polyphonic and multi-sectional work.

The Rivers Music School in Boston commissioned this piece for the 22nd Annual Seminar on Contemporary Music for the Young. It was composed with an advanced young player in mind, but is musically sophisticated enough to be performed by college level players also.
