Performance Notes

1. Measure 3 should be played with the fingers, with the heel of the hand resting on the head of the tambourine to dry the sound out.
2. The accented release at the end of the thumb rolls in measures 6 & 7 simply means to release the thumb roll with the heel of the hand at the notated release point.
3. All of measures 15 & 16 should be played with the fist except for the "&" of count 2 which should be a palm stroke, ten back to fist on count 3.
4. All rolls in the 5/4 section are shake rolls. All of the rolls should be attacked and released. Players 1-4 should start out in measure 17 at a dynamic level of forte and decrescendo to mezzo forte through bars 17 & 18. The dynamic level for players 5-7 at measure 19 should be forte. The dynamic level for players 1-3 beginning at measure 23 should be forte.
5. The pandeiro technique at measure 27 is done by tapping the eighth notes with the fingers and using the up and down motion of the horizontal tambourine to complete the triplet figure.
6. The flip notated in measures 34 & 35 is the sound of the flip on the count notated. This will prepare the tambourine for the next section where it needs to be upside down on the knee of the performer.
7. Performers in measures 36-48 should play piano in the accompaniment parts, and forte in their solos.
8. The last three measures should be all fist, except the last note should be played with the palm.
