6 III. BAIÁO
The national dance of Brazil is the samba. The Baiáo is a spin-off from the samba,
characterized by muffled and ringing tones of the triangle. These tones are
produced by muffling the instrument with the fingers or hand in which it is held.
The accompanying instrument for the piece is the shaker, also called chocalho.

 TÁR DANCE 9

Tár is the ancient Egyptian term for tambourine. This piece is written in the character of
belly-dancing music. There are several techniques involved for the tambourine. The
fingertips should play on the edge of the head to achieve the lighter pitched sounds (tak).
The knuckles and fist should strike the middle of the head to produce a heavier sound (dum).
Thumb rolls and shake rolls are also used.

The finger cymbals are played in two different ways:

I . Clapped together =4= . Although this is not the orchestral manner in which these cymbals
are played, the desired sound is comparable to that of dancers clapping the cymbals together,
like castanets. 2. Struck on the edges . This technique produces a much longer
ringing tone. The performer should hold one cymbal upside down throughout the piece to
facilítate fast movement between the two striking techniques.
