(Insert cymbal crash here !)
Tune 1B : ---------
Piano and mandolin.
First line is slightly different from line 1A. Lines 2 & 3 are the same as for tune 1A. Last three lines are again slightly different from tune 1A .

Quirky harmony bit -------------------
Clarinet and Xylophone
Now it's basically the same tune again but played up two frets so its in C#m instead of Bm. There is also a two part harmony going with a few 'quirky' notes stuck in.
Play line 1B, then lines 2A-6A all moved up 2 frets and that will be about right. If you want to be *really* picky, there is a note missed out from line 6A (the third note - 9th fret G string).
Tune 1C ---------
Strings and flute. Back in Bm.
This is a note-for-note copy of tune 1A except that the first line has a few different notes.

( N.B This whole tune is played in parallel 4ths. It's easier to play the single notes as I've tabbed above, but if you want a challenge try playing the two harmony parts on the lower strings. Move the tune down an octave and then add a harmony part a 4th below.
To get the hang of the rhythm here all I can suggest is practise a lot ! After a lot of careful listening I was able to play along up to this point - but it's hard to keep it going for the whole section!
It's made easier by the fact that the percussion beats out a steady 4/4 beat throughout this section to use as a reference.
The stuff that I've left out after here is quite a large chunk. After a while the whole ensemble plays this little tune in unison :
As before, this tune is actually played in 4ths. It's harder to play the two parts at the proper speed, but if you want to try, here is the 2-part version of the same tune :
After a few little phrases on the brass, there is another little tune in 4ths (played on the piano). This one is OK to play at full speed as it uses a couple of open strings to make it easier.
