Stout-Duo (Dance Song)-MARIMBA/TRUMPET - Product Information
Written for Robert Levy and Gordon Stout (The Wilder Duo). Duo (Dance Song) was commissioned by The Society for Commissioning New Music. It is an exciting and virtuosic work for these two instruments, and one of my favorite compositions. Many of the ideas for this piece came from experimenting with rhythmic games that Bob Becker created in two of his early compositions, "Clave Pairings" and "Marimba Pairings".
