Sicily Longer Faster

Does this get fast enough? I did try out the clarinet, but it just didn't work. But the Marimba and accordion I like. At least right now. What do you think?



Classical guitar, mandolin, trumpet, accordion, tambourine, marimba.

Sicilian

Trying to get it in between happy and contemplative as per my instructions. The trumpet is midi. My trumperter gets back in town on Monday.

Two Kinds of Jewish Russians

This one is a minimalistic approach to the original piece.



This one in is the normal one, energetic, and a little quirky.



Violin, classical guitar, tuba, bass drum, hammer dulcimer, clarinet, accordion, and snare drum. I realize the Fiddler on The Roof images are cliche, but they're also the best Jewish photos Google Images has to offer.

Russian Jewish

Guitar, hammered dulcimer, violin, clarinet, strings. More on the contemplative side.

Banjos and Darboukas

Here is an attempt at the East Indian Meets Pioneer. It has the percussion and rhythm of the East mixed with instruments from the west. My neighbor was kind enough to let me borrow his banjo. I can't very much trust my ear this time of day, but I'm not so sure about the vocals now. It seemed like a great idea at the time.



Darbouka, Tabla, Banjo, Guitar, Bowed Acoustic Guitar (sounds like a Dilruba), Shaker, Violins (for that swelling open prairie feel), Vocal, Harmonica, Subtle LA Riot Bass for warmth.
