Key: Dm
Metre: 4/4
Tempo: 140 BPM
Tempo notes: Fast
Factoid: This track was particularly challenging to the wind players' 'lip'. When recording brass (and sometimes woodwinds) - particularly repeated patterns it is important to give players plenty of rests or the membrane of the lips loses feeling and the player has to stop. In extreme circumstance it can lead to 'Embouchure Collapse' which can be long-term. Musicians sometimes call it 'chops'
