Belly Buttons, by Gordon Stout
Anthony Di Bartolo, drum set
Marco Schirripa, marimba
Program notes (by Gordon Stout):
This is a virtuoso work for marimba and drum set. It was written for Marco Schirripa (marimba) and Anthony DiBartolo (drum set) who premiered it at Zeltsman Marimba Festival 2015 at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
I consider it the logical extension of Incoming (drum set and marimba - 2002) and Outgoing (marimba, piano, timpani and two percussion - 2011). A belly button can be either an "inny" or an "outy" which is therefore the title of this work. There is a quote from the music from the Woody Woodpecker cartoons, if you can catch it!
