"Resonance10" by Joshua Albert is an exploratory work for a single 5.0 Octave Marimba and single Vibraphone. Inspired heavily by Steve Reich and Phillip Glass, Resonance10 aims to provide a beautiful, full featured, pseudo minimalist work, that can fit on a couple of instruments that most programs have. That is to say there is no harm in playing the piece on more than one marimba. The vibraphone player acts as a conductor while six players share sections behind and in front of the marimba. The work is easy enough to put together in a short time and perform in any environment. The "10" in the title refers to the harmonic series in which a marimba is tuned to, utilized in the piece to maximize the resonance of the instrument.

XY Recommends this piece for High School to College level percussionists.
