{"product_id":"stout-sedimental-structures-m","title":"Stout-Sedimental Structures-M","description":"This piece was commissioned by and composed for marimbist Robert VanSice. It is structured in four main sections. Each section is based to a degree on the material contained in the very first measure. Sometimes material is derived through a variety of structural manipulations, and other times through a more loosely organized process of transformation. The piece seemed to have an organic or earthy quality, and therefore the use of the word sedimental in the title.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Players: 1\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty: Grade 5\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation: \u003cbr\u003e Player I: Marimba\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGORDON STOUT (b.1952) is currently Professor of Percussion at the School of Music, Ithaca College, Ithaca, N.Y.
