{"product_id":"stout-a-natural-forcessp","title":"Stout, A.-Natural Forces(SP)","description":"Inspired by the paintings of 19th century artist Caspar David Friedrich, it is a dramatic, emotionally-charged piece with highly contrasting moods. It starts dramatically slow and explodes into a deliberate first statement. This gives way to a tension building double-time segment that leads to a smooth and mysterious 7\/4 section with lots of color, which builds to a thunderous return of the opening theme. Next is a bright, driving section of straight-ahead 16th-note based jazz\/fusion that features a vibes solo\/duet and a marimba solo. The piece then winds down with a reprise of the opening statement and a gradual diminuendo until the only thing left is a solo note on chimes. This piece runs the gamut of tempo, volume, and intensity ranges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Players-12\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty: Grade 4\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation: \u003cbr\u003e Player I: Vibes\u003cbr\u003e Player II: Vibes\u003cbr\u003e Player III: Bells\u003cbr\u003e Player IV: Xylophone\u003cbr\u003e Player V: Chimes\u003cbr\u003e Player VI: Marimba\u003cbr\u003e Player VII: Marimba\u003cbr\u003e Player VIII: Marimba\u003cbr\u003e Player IX: Marimba\u003cbr\u003e Player X: TImpani\u003cbr\u003e Player XI: Tonal Bass.
