Topic of Conversation - Paul G. Ross
CS13 • $50.00 • Length: 4:45 • Afro-Cuban/Samba • Grade Four
Topic of Conversation has a great deal of percussion added to the contrapuntal pan voices to create an interesting blend of rhythm and melody. G-sharp minor makes for a challenge as does the syncopation throughout the piece. Unison pan figures are surrounded by timbale fills before an "all out" samba. The form is a rondo that begins and ends with cowbell and a twisting rhythmic melodic line.
