Howdy Mark,

Oooh, this is fun I went back and totally re-did the timpani line - I think I was too much in "groove" mode when I did the first one See (and hear) what you think of it. It may need some toning down - it's a bit difficult for me to gauge what others will hear, because I have a sub-woofer on my system (for working on all that bass stuff ) The same goes for the Bass Ensemble that I added. Turn them to your taste (or turn them off if you don't like them ;) ). For the bass, I tried to keep it very subdued, but with the hint of that foundation, steady driving at some points, floating low at others.

Here are the files:

If Mark wishes to upload an MP3 of the result, he can do that

Now, I can go hack on Fred's sax piece ;)

ttfn,
