The word diptych is taken from the word triptych, which is a three paneled painting. A diptych is therefore a two movement composition. I was interested in the idea of writing a two movement composition in which the fast movement was first, followed by a slower second movement. All of my diptych compositions follow that same movement order. It is scored for marimba, vibraphone, bass drum, 2 tom toms, conga drum, and two sets of bongos. It consists of a quick moving interplay between all the instruments in the predominantly fast first movement and features the marimba as a lyrical instrument in the slow second movement.\u003cbr\u003e-Gordon Stout\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Players: 1\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty: Grade 5\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation: \u003cbr\u003e Player I: Marimba, Vibes,  2 sets of Bongos, Conga, Bass Drum, 2 Toms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGORDON STOUT (b.1952) is currently Professor of Percussion at the School of Music, Ithaca College, Ithaca, N.Y.
