Incipit

Sambarine

From Sambarine

Put blinkers on and play the rhythm exactly as written. Let the writing do the work! The swing in this piece comes from the interlocking of all the parts round the rhythms of each other. See from the extract that sometimes lines 2 and 3 are in step and sometimes they are interwoven.

This is a fine piece to go along with some sort of shakers - maracas or cabasa - or percussion - claves or woodblocks.
