Tinikling

Tinikling, a traditional Filipino dance, challenges dancers to insert their feet between two bamboo poles in precise patterns so as not to get “caught” when the poles come together. Your new arrangement of the music is among your easiest pieces, though there may be some notation which needs to be explained, specifically: flat and natural signs, ties, pick-ups and incomplete last measures. In addition a line, from one note in one staff to another note in the other staff, joins a set of four eighth notes. I put a lot of thought into how to notate these eighth notes most clearly!
