Key - Eb throughout (c minor for 4/4)

Time - 4/4 and 2/4

 

Beginning 4/4 - Andante Legato
Major points - lots of staggered up-beat entrances. Common recognizable melody.  Lots of call and response (&3&4 vs &1&2).  Make sure to connect phrases and hold out notes full length.

2/4 - Allegro - opposite style of 4/4
Major points - starts with percussion and Xylophone solo!
Not a lot of accidentals, mostly tricky with rhythm and articulations.
