New World Breakdown (5-Part Flex + Track)

Driving sixteenth notes in the hi-hat and thumping syncopation in the bass create the foundation over which Dvorak’s masterwork can shine. Alternating between double-time and half-time in the accompaniment, Kiefer’s brief 2-minute arrangement features a lot of variety & energy.
