Not As Smart As You Look...Samba

This ABA tune has the pan and marimba 1 parts doubling for the first A and harmonized for the 2nd. Marimba 2 is a chord comping part using the partito alto rhythm with a couple one measure melodic fills. After the solo section, there is a D.S. back to the B section, the 2nd A, and then to the coda which is and exciting flurry of meter changes.
 
Difficulty: Medium (great for college combos, or can be expanded to accommodate larger percussion ensembles)
 
Instrumentation – Double Tenors or 2nd’s, marimba 1, marimba 2, bass, drum set
