A New Page for Steve Reich
Sextet/Six Marimbas represents a certain pinnacle in Steve Reich's career. While Six Marimbas is still classic minimalism (a necessary re-scoring of Six Pianos), Sextet is one of the most remarkable pieces of the last fifteen years. The piece more successfully integrates minimalist technique to the mainstream language of classical music, especially in the Third Movement. It also accomplishes a rare feat with percussion instruments: notes are given length, especially in the bowed vibraphone. The liner notes further explain Reich's composition ideas, but that isn't essential to enjoying the piece. Overall, Sextet successfully unites several academic ideas to produce beautiful sounding music.

Wonderful music
I first heard this music on the BBC in a tent on the north west coast of Scotland in a freezing winter gale. But they didn't back announce it, so I had no clue what I just listened to. For years all I had was the memory of this gorgeous sound circling in my head, if you listen to it you'll understand. Eventually a percussionist/tenor/conductor friend identified it from my description and I bought it the next day. This is such a wonderful overloaded harmony I just wish there was much more music like this. There aren't many pieces of music that have ever made such an impression on me that I searched for years and remember exactly where and how I first heard it. For me Sextet is the lesser of the two pieces, but still well worth having even if it was the only thing on the disk. This is a wonderful clean clear recording, buy it!

Great CD
Great cd, two great pieces by a master of the style. I write this review to rather pedantically correct other reviewers in that it is a bowed *vibraphone*, not bowed *marimba*, used to such interesting effect in the 'Sextet', as is made clear in the liner notes.

Product Description

The Soloist series of marimbas are effective solutions for budget conscience musicians and schools who are looking for high quality sound but desire a low cost. Made with Padouk wood bars that are graduated and slightly narrower, this marimba offers the same precise tuning and voicing as the Artist marimba. This quality provides for balanced sound throughout the entire range of the instrument. Being tuned to the sixth overtone allows complete control over all aspects of the marimba's sound. As far as construction goes, the frame is the patented voyager system which permits effortless adjustment to a wide range of playing heights, and the resonators are welded, not riveted, to offer the utmost strength and safety from mechanical noise. Mallets and a cover are included. Top to learn more

Satisfied and Smiling
Very nice. I didn't have a lot of time and it came very quickly. Product was as good as advertised. When it finally came, I was so pleasantly surprised that I smiled. Was shocked that a book this big could fit into such a small package. Would totally do it again with the same supplier.

The "Goldenberg book" has been used by generations of orchestral mallet players to develop their skills. As well as studies and etudes, this book includes excerpts of major orchestral repertoire for keyboard percussion instruments. This edition, edited by Tony Cirone, includes phrasings that were inherent in the music but not specifically written out. Stickings are also addressed: the original stickings are in uppercase letters, and the added stickings are in lowercase.

MODERN SCHOOL FOR XYLOPHONE, MARIMBA,and VIBRAPHONE by Morris Goldenberg
This 132 page book is good for someone with a music background who is trying to learn how to play a mallet instrument. It's not the basics I was looking for, but has some simple work at the beginning of the book advancing to difficult pieces.

Plunk, plunk...plunk, plunk...OY!
I love the look of this xylophone--the colors are vibrant; the shape is cute. But the sound quality of the keys is horrible. First of all, the keys are wooden not metal like most xylophones--which is okay, but the product doesn't mention this and the picture is a little misleading. The red key and the orange key sound the same,and the other three make hollow, plunky sounds. Instead, I recommend the Grover 8 Note Children's Xylophone (www.giardinelli.com) if you like metal keys and the 8 Note Wooden Children's Xylophone (www.grothmusic.com) if you prefer wooden keys. Both are beautiful and cost the same, if not a few dollars less...

There are times in your life,alternative energy cost per watt, just like in mine, when you feel like life isn't going at the same time as you wish.

“I don’t think people realize how gracefully it translates to marimba until they hear it for the first time,” said Schroeder, a first-year master’s student at Western University’s Don Wright Faculty of Music. I feel excited (to play it. )”. Schroeder’s musical influences started with piano when she was five, a perfect precursor to the marimba, although she didn’t pick up a percussion instrument until sixth grade when her asthma got in the way of... But percussion’s repertoire is still relatively shallow while classical works are translated from more traditional instruments, and that’s especially true for the marimba, explained Schroeder, who has been playing the instrument for 11 years. Schroeder first played Bach on the marimba in a recital at Alma College and said some academics take issue with the transcription. Part of her upcoming recital March 17 is Bach’s Suite for Solo Cello, a piece that requires four mallets to play accurately on the marimba, a xylophone-type percussion instrument with wooden keys that are set up similarly to a piano. “If you’re going to be a music major you have to play Bach on marimba at least once. “Marimba has always been my favourite instrument out of the group but I really like playing everything. If you’ve never heard a percussionist’s version of Johann Sebastian Bach, Erika Schroeder wants to introduce you to the marimba. “I just heard a girl play Bach on flute, so (his work) pretty much goes to every instrument (with) transcriptions,” she said.

What I’ve finished is polished my structure processes in to step by step structure guides for 5 instruments, The Simple Glockenspiel, The Box Xylophone, a Two Octave Mini Marimba, Three Octave Concert Marimba, a Three Octave Concert Vibraphone as... Concert peculiarity marimbas have been customarily done from Honduras Rosewood or African padouk, as well as patently a improved timber we have entrance to a improved instrument you’ll be means to make. Of march I’ve picked up a couple of clues over my time conceptualizing as well as structure instruments, though I’ve put all a critical structure a whole tips in a package for you. I’ve additionally built most alternative instruments in my time, from tiny xylophones to ultra vast Bass Marimbas. And of march if we have been after a entirely veteran Five Octave Marimba afterwards be rebuilt to flare over closer to $20, 000. Any chromatic tuner will do a job, as well as we can get a unequivocally simple electronic tuner from any song store for around $50, or simply steal a single from a crony to get a pursuit done. It IS probable to balance a marimba quite by ear, though during slightest a simple electronic tuner is rarely recommended. BUT… if we don’t have entrance to one, don’t be concerned – as I’ve enclosed a full set of sine waves (clear as well as purify tones) that we can operate to balance a records by ear.
