This concerto is destined to become one of the most important and often-performed works in the solo timpani literature. Although it was composed and premiered by the National Symphony Orchestra in the 1960s, it has been unpublished and unavailable until it was “rescued” by Leigh Howard Stevens (at the composer’s request).

Yet another wonderful vibraphone and marimba duet from Roland Stolk! Slightly longer than Foreign Breakfast, this piece would also work well on a percussion ensemble program or a joint recital. 4.6 octave marimba required.

“Desperate Attitudes” is already accepted and established as a standard repertoire work. “In your face” mallet parts with a really “urban” edge, but it also has tremendous lyrical and harmonic impact.
