Stephen Anderson writes about his percussion concerto:
"Infused with color and texture, Stephen Anderson's Concerto for Percussion & Wind Ensemble meshes the band and soloist with skill. Utilizing marimba and vibraphone in the first and second movement, the solo part is expressive and fresh. The new third movement, scored for multiple percussion, may be played as part of the concerto or stand on its own. This work was commissioned by The Barlow Foundation for The United States Military Academy Band, West Point, New York Colonel Thomas Rotondi Jr., Commander/Conductor Staff Sergeant (now Master Sergeant as of December 2022) Rone Sparrow, Percussion."
