Andante and Allegro by Gordon Stout

1970. For marimba and piano, and written as a freshman at the Eastman School of Music, while studying composition with Joseph Schwantner. Though not a frequently played composition, it does provide both chordal and linear passages for the young four mallet marimbist, and is in an atonal style harmonically. The piano part is not terribly difficult. This work would be an excellent choice for the advanced high school marimbist, or the younger college percussion major looking to challenge their intermediate four mallet technique.
