Ford-Stubernic Fantasy for Orchestra (SP)-M/X/4T/P/Orch. OS

Stubernic Fantasy is based on Mark Ford's marimba trios Stubernic and its sequel, Afta-Stuba. After the premiere of Afta-Stuba in 2000, Eugene Corporon congratulated Ford and said, "Now write me a wind ensemble work like that!" At the time he did not think that it was feasible. But Ford was awarded a University of North Texas Faculty Fellowship in 2011 to write such a composition and he has loved every minute! Regarding the music, this concerto is available in both orchestral and wind ensemble versions. Ford's hope was to leave the original marimba parts untouched but there are a few isolated moments where minor changes were necessary.

Also available for wind ensemble.
