{"product_id":"rice-concertino-sp-solo-m-2v-x-4m","title":"Rice-Concertino (SP)-Solo M\/2V\/X\/4M","description":"\"Concertino for Marimba is structured like a standard concertino, in one continuous movement, divided into several contrasting sections. It opens with a short statement by the soloist that is repeated by the ensemble in a different key, much like the opening of Beethoven's 4th Piano Concerto. For a concerto to begin with the soloist is rare. The ensuing piece takes a hidden motivic germ through many iterations, but reveals it as the piece progress, ultimately letting it take over every aspect of the music.The marimba solo part could not exist without the ensemble parts, as they are intricately linked throughout the piece, which is scored for marimba soloist and seven mallet players. The piece was commissioned by the Trinity High School Percussion Ensemble and is dedicated to Andrew Eldridge.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Players: 8\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty: Grade 4+\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation:    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e Player I:Marimba\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e Player II:Xylo\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e Player III:Vibe\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e Player IV:Vibe\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e Player V:Marimba\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e Player VI:Marimba\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e Player VII:Marimba\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e Player VIII:Marimba\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDwayne Rice is currently the percussion private lesson instructor at Duncanville High School in Duncanville , Texas , one of the most highly regarded band programs in the nation.
