Gillingham-Stained Glass 25th Anniversary Edition (SP)-B/ 2V/C/Cro/X/2M/BM/5T/P/PN

Stained Glass is an absolute classic for percussion that has become a staple in the repertoire. Cast in three continuous movements – Foyers, Cathedrals and Suncatchers – the piece was inspired by the beauty and color of stained glass and the various places you might find it. This new 25th anniversary edition features a full-cover cover, enlarged score and parts, improved page turns in all parts, fortified bass marimba notes, clarified pedalings, as well as recollections from Douglas Wolf who commissioned the piece and original manuscript sketches from David Gillingham.
