The form of this grade 3 piece is ABA and consists of two main themes. The A theme is light in character with a quasi latin groove using a shaker, bongos, and claves. The middle section is based on the school's alma mater and weaves in motives of the first theme. The initial theme returns in a new key. An mp3 of this and other Karrick pieces can be obtained directly from the composer. |
