Classic jazz---yes, jazz---that your orchestra can play! "Take Five," arranged by Bob Cerulli, is the quintessential piece with which to teach 5/4 time. This arrangement has contrasting textures, both unison pizzicato (cello an octave lower), and harmonized arco. Contrasting dynamics also add to the color of the texture. Thoroughly enjoyable! (2:40)
