Innovative Percussion EMFSFW Stubernic Fantasy for Wind Ensemble
Stubernic Fantasy is based on my marimba trios Stubernic and its sequel, Afta-Stuba. After the premiere of Afta-Stuba in 2000, Eugene Corporon congratulated me and said, "Now write me a wind ensemble work like that!" At the time I did not think that it was feasible. But I was awarded a University of North Texas Faculty Fellowship in 2011 to write such a composition and I have loved every minute! Regarding the music, this concerto is available in both orchestral and wind ensemble versions. I tried to leave the original marimba parts untouched but there are a few isolated moments where minor changes were necessary.
