This short medley contains themes from Letter from Home and The First Circle by Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays. I would recommend taking the 15 tempo a touch slower than Metheny’s recordings. This will allow the instruments played with soft mallets to “speak” a bit clearer. Performers  score  so  they thoroughly take the time understand each other’s roles.
