New pictures added today (September 22, 2020): CNY Symphonic Percussion Roundtable, NYS PAS Day of Percussion, and Percussion Friends Online Academy 2020.
Coming soon: Subscription Series. I will soon be offering three levels of subscription to the music of Gordon Stout through Full Circle Publications. Details are being firmed up as I post this, but I need just a little more time to finalize them all.
Retirement has provided me with lots of time to compose new music. I have written 14 new compositions in 2019 and 2020 (so far). There are two for percussion ensemble. There are four chamber music compositions. That leaves 8 for solo marimba. almost all of them have not yet been performed. I will get them into circulation as soon as I can. Write me if there are things you might be interested in at gstout@ithaca.edu. They may be available first as part of the Subscription Series. We shall see. I just keep writing music. It is what I do.
Here are the compositions newly added to my list as of 8/17/2020. . They are now for sale in the Full Circle Publications sections of this site. Check them out. There are four ensemble works and one solo work, and perhaps due to the extra time everyone has because of virus issues, you might wish to plan ahead for next years recitals and percussion ensemble concerts. They are only available as of today - March 25, 2020 - in digital pdf file format. As soon as I can get out and about to find another printer, I will let you all know.
1. Emerald Romp (2017), for vibraphone, marimba and drum set.

Heartland Marimba Quartet CD now available!
Posted on November 01, 2019. Please copy and past links!
The Heartland Marimba Quartet CD has now been released, and is available from: https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/heartlandmarimbaquartet
https://heartlandmarimbaquartet.hearnow.com
or
www.HeartlandMarimba.com/publications.
This is a really great CD, with music by Gottschalk, Orfaly, Pickering, Joplin, Blasco, Simpson, and Gordon Stout! Their recording of my New York Triptych is totally amazing! It has all the right energy, musical direction, control of articulation and tone quality, and is something I am very proud to add to my list of recorded compositions! I highly recommend this CD. Matthew Coley, their director, is really the new Clair Omar Musser in today's marimba world (my thought), and this group is a seasoned chamber music ensemble, as good as any string quartet!
YOuTube links galore!
