Stout’s composition for solo marimba is a beautiful tapestry of tonal sounds for five-octave marimba. Its level of difficulty is comparable to Stout’s Astral Dance. The work is about eight minutes long, and provides the marimbist the chance to showcase the beautiful sounds of the marimba, mostly in the middle and low registers. It is dedicated to Leigh Howard Stevens. Now available: Buy the new recording of Stout’s Beads of Glass, performed by Leigh Howard Stevens.
