Viridian

The bass line pattern provides the foundation for this Latin flavored piece, perhaps evoking images (with its exotic melodic line,featuring cup-muted trumpets against woodwinds) of 'South Seas'locales. The title is the term for a shade of green. The half-time and double-time do not single a change the feel, which basically stays the same throughout. At some spots, the drums changes to a more march-like beat, hopefully with a syncopated jazz approach.
