Product details

In 1991, I participated in some creative rhythm workshops led by master drummer David Jones. I was fascinated by the technique of dividing odd numbers of beats like 5 or 7, by 2, 3 or 4.

On the train home from one of these workshops, I jotted down a short tune using the 5 divided into 4 feel and called it Living. The arrangement for this album gave me a chance to score some of those concepts for strings with the bass clarinet dancing around their polyrhythms. An energetic solo from Brett Hirst leads to a trade of ideas between the subsets of the group before the final truncated statement of the theme.

2 versions of this arrangement exist: one with percussion and one without.

Published by: Australian Music Centre — 1 set of 7 performance parts (34p. -- A4 (portrait))

Difficulty: Advanced — Rhythmic complexity: 5 against 4 groove. Improvisation required of bass clarinet, double bass and percussion.

Duration: 5 min.

Typeset edition.
