“Here is another excellent work by Gordon Stout that is primed for graduate recitals.”-Percussive NotesSomewhere in Africa There’s a Whirlwind is an exciting and virtuosic work. The “whirlwind” portion of the title refers to the fast passage work in the marimba one part. The “Africa” portion of the title refers to the rhythm of the marimba two part, which is in large part based on the African double bell pattern. This work requires mature performers who posses excellent technique and advanced ensemble skills.

Unmistakably Sweet Sammut. If you know the Rotations or Cameleon, Stroboscope is similarly “French” in its style and harmony, but a smidge easier than Rotations 1 and 3.

This work for four concert toms will challenge a percussionist’s rhythmic accuracy and expressive capabilities. The more I study this piece, the more fascinated I become with it. It is engimatic in that this lyrical, sorrowful music (as can be deduced from the title) must be expressed through rather unconventional instrumentation. Clearly, the performer must internalize the music to the point where he or she is capable of making four tom-toms sing in a manner in which the emotional content of the music is unquestionable to the listener. -Jason Baker, Percussive Notes
