Program Notes
- Introduction by Gordon Stout -
These five pieces will definitely be enjoyed by all who come in contact with them. For the player of marimba and vibraphone, they will provide valuable insight into different styles and kinds of music, as well as prove to be excellent for developing four mallets technique and improvisation.
For the mallet or percussion recital, these pieces can be played as solos or creatively arranged into various kinds and sizes of groups for programming variety and excitement. These pieces are simply great deal of fun to play and listen to! If you want to involve your audience in your performance and make them move and dance to the music, these pieces are the answer. I know you will enjoy them as much as I do.
Gordon Stout[1]
- Purpose and comments -
The purpose of this album is to present a collection of pieces which can be useful to an 'encore' after a recital or a percussion concert. These compositions are - qua timing and understanding - very easy receptive to the audience and refer to the origin of the marimba. Like in African and Mexican music, every tune is very receptive for improvisation and arrangements. 'Encore' is more directed to intermediate players.[2]
Thanks to you all!
