Kiji Takes A Ride!

Recorded on the Sammy Sammy Nestico CD This Is The Moment, this revised arrangement does not call for flutes, woodwinds, French horns or tuba, though some additional personnel (second keyboard/synthesizer, mallets, 2 percussion) are needed. This is a real specialty number that can't be played by every group, but bear in mind that it sounds more difficult than it really is. It is great fun to play, individual parts are not extreme, and the bright tempo doesn't call for a lot of fancy syncopation. With some committed rehearsal, this will work well on a diversified program.
