Salopettes (Flute/Marimba Duet)

Challnged by famed marimbist Gordon Stout to compose a work for flute & marimba, Josh Oxford impressively cranked out Salopettes in a matter of days. It is an impressive display for both players and extremely musically satisfying for the audience.

Program Notes

After hanging out with marimbist Gordon Stout after a concert, he challenged me to write a piece for flute and marimba. I wrote this piece in the next few days and sent it to him. Salopettes was premiered by Maya Holmes and Chris Demetriou.
