Fly

Fly is a calypso with a longer melodic form that portrays a feel-good scene where life is humming along. The second, contrasting section has both parts performing concertedly as they take the melodic motive up, up and up. The tenor part features a variation over the harmonies of the first section and the accompaniment has the challenge of being a support for the cheery melody. A fun piece to add to any concert for intermediate or advanced students. Add a third performer on congas or bongos to fill out the piece. Add additional percussionists as you see fit.
