Two-Part Invention (2014) is David Stocks only work for solo vibraphone. Although
Stock has a vast amount of solo and chamber works for percussion instruments, his music is not
well known in the percussion community. The primary goal of this document is to serve as a
gateway to his percussion music. This document is intended to explore his music through an
analysis that highlights the main features of his compositional process. It also explores the
technical and musical demands within Two-Part Invention.
My research starts with a short bio on David Stock, highlighting the main
accomplishments of his career as well as his passion for contemporary music. The analysis
portion of this document examines the form, rhythmical features and harmony. In addition to my
own personal study of Two-Part Invention, I studied the compositional techniques used by Stock
particularly in his percussion writing, including pieces such as Duo Dynamic, U-Turn, Three
Vignettes for Marimba, Rosewood Reflections, Shadow Music, Red Stick Ripples, Circling the
Square and Double Bars. The performance guide concentrates on mallet choice, playing area,
stickings, articulation and range issues. I provided sticking suggestions as well as pictures with
the exploration of playing areas. This document includes a list of Stocks works for percussion as
well as an outline of my pedaling suggestions.
