Arrangement Note: This percussive melody has been covered by a number of recording artists who personalized it via their choices in rhythmic articulation. This arrangement showcases a variety of ways to separate consecutive notes of the same pitch without tonguing by adding short-quick grace notes between notes. Pairs of grace notes can act as a half trills to decorate the melody or act as a break between long notes. Of course, all of which are optional. A suggested approach to stretching this melody out in an interesting and exciting fashion is to play it three times, starting with a minimum of grace notes, simply tonguing the melody on the first pass, and then elaborating with different embellishments on sucessive passes while preserving the melody and rhythmic groove.
