Class Review for Oct. 18, 2009
New Rhythm
Omar Faruk Tekbilek's composition "Whirling Dervish" from the album Whirling has a slow ayoub rhythm that speeds up in the second half. Listen to it on YouTube, or buy the track for a dollar at the iTunes Store or iMeem.
New Calls
"Sing it" - speak the rhythm or cycle of rhythm once, unless another number is specified
"One" - designate the beginning of a cycle
"_______" (name of rhythm) - Call the ensemble to begin playing the new rhythm at the beginning of the cycle
"Add _______" - Attach one cycle of the named rhythm to the end of the established cycle (see NWR, p. 49)
"Drop _______" - Stop playing the named rhythm (see NWR, p. 49)
"Converge in the River" - Play unison subdivisions of the pulse without any time signature or stylistic variation (see NWR, p. 49)
