This piece is designed for a group of 6 players and suitable for beginner to intermediate level. Parts at the top of the page (P1, P2, P3 etc.) are the more dominant and characteristic parts and should be established first. Parts further down the page are optional, embellishments and sometimes rhythmically more advanced. This piece has great flexibility with regard to number of players and instruments available: Parts can be doubled or trebled (or more) and some parts can be clapped only, if instruments are lacking. A longer arrangement is also easy to produce by simply making some parts tacet whilst others play, then reverse or chop and change. Also, if your dusty music dept. cupboard does not (shock) include a Santoor, Xiao Bo, Cuica or any of the more specialised instruments, don’t panic! Keep it simple, use similar instruments and think in terms if hi tone, lo tone, wood, plastic, metal etc. This product includes a full recording of all parts played together, an individual recording of each player’s part (with count and click) and comprises: 1 X pdf image and 7 X .wav files.
