Sase

by Jim Redfarn Composed by: Bobby McFerrin Pronounced sah-say. No melodic development (or formal ending) in this traditional African-style music. The interest is retained by the complex static patterns - analogous to a painting, as opposed to a movie - you are enriched by repeated reviewing. This McFerrin adaptation contains simple 6/4 and 4/4 polyrhythmic phrases. They're easy to write in AMPLE but impossible on Arc systems like EMR's Studio 24 Plus and Clare's Rhapsody. Jim Redfarn
