==Description==
Dwayne Rice's Concertino for Marimba features a virtuosic marimba soloist against a backdrop of keyboard percussion instruments. It actually begins with the soloist alone, which does not happen often in this musical genre. While the solo part is advanced, the ensemble parts aren't terribly difficult.

The soloist will need plenty of double- and triple-lateral chops, but the part is quite accessible by accomplished marimbists. This piece is through-composed, and uses the progressive harmonic structures and motive development that Rice is known for which is pleasing for the players as well as the audience.

At around 9 minutes in length, the ensemble parts of Concertino for Marimba could be played by advanced high school or young college students with adequate rehearsal time.

==Instrumentation==
Soloist: 5-Octave [[Marimba]] 
Player 1: 4.3-Octave [[Marimba]] 
Player 2: [[Xylophone]] 
Player 3: [[Vibraphone]] 
Player 4: [[Vibraphone]] 
Player 5: 4.3-Octave [[Marimba]] 
Player 6: 4.3-Octave [[Marimba]] 
Player 7: 4.3-Octave [[Marimba]] 
Player 8: 5-Octave [[Marimba]] 

==Recent Performance==
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gaxC3DYmWc Mark Ford is the marimba soloist and the ensemble is Ben Christensen, Tyler Sammons, Matt Penland, Kate Vorel, Sam Naishtat, David Reinecke, and John O'Neal.]

==Review==
“Concertino” features a marimba soloist utilizing a five-octave marimba skillfully woven within a mallet septet of xylophone, two vibraphones, and four marimbas. Three of the marimba parts are written for a low-A instrument and the bass part uses a second five-octave marimba. Commissioned by the Trinity High School Percussion Ensemble directed by Michael Mathew and dedicated to Andrew Eldridge, “Concertino” was premiered at PASIC 2006 in Austin, Texas by Trinity High School with Eldridge as the marimba soloist.

After a brief opening chorale by the soloist, “Concertino” begins with a presto 12/8 that gradually adds the entire ensemble before the soloist enters. Here, the real power of the work is focused on the solo marimba.
