on a keyboard) create a haunting background
reminiscent of a film score. Instruments move mostly
by stepwise motion, and all string crossings involve
an open string. No eighth notes are used, and many
instruments use only five or six notes. This adaptable
version will give you the flexibility to perform this with
many different ensembles!
