It's got to be hard to play like the marimba like that while having to constantly forcing a fake smile all the time. It's slightly creepy if you ask me.

I would be so happy if I could play marimba at all.

Yeah, I totally prefer the original. Marimba FTW

Nice performance. Too bad they don't include the whole thing.

I've had the pleasure of performing Sextet a few times and Nagoya Marimbas. Performing Reich's music is a religious experience, very hypnotic and euphoric.

"when marimba rhythms start to play, hold me close, make me sway....

Wow... I totally didn't know that the Gnarls Barkley was a cover. Sometimes those covers sneak up on me...

The marimba sounds really cool.

all-time fav Reich has to be Music for 18 Musicians....marimba, oboes, contrabass and voices.......top of the tops...takes some meditative performers to render, and timeless as ever..

Actually there is only one Vibraphone in that "orchestra" all the ladies are playing Marimbas (longer wooden keys). A vibraphone has metal keys and a foot pedal like a piano which is used to let the notes resonate longer... a Xylophone is made out of a composite material not wood like a marimba or metal like a vibraphone. Also just metal keys without any resonators are called "bells" or "glockenspiel". Everyone’s percussion lesson for the day

All time fave....."When marimba rythyms start to play, hold me close, sway with me."
