Lesson 8: Accompaniment
(III): Starting After the Sam
There
are a whole handful of songs that start after the sam.
This means that the first words of the song fall after the sam
of the cycle. These songs require a careful ear, because at least one whole
cycle has to be heard in order to get a clear idea where to start. This is a
song that is in a sixteen beat cycle. Therefore, a kartal
cycle from Lesson 4 will be very useful.

Notice
how there is a space in the sam. The first words in
each cycle start off on the second matra.
Most
of the time, the kartal player will be playing kartals as soon as they feel comfortable with the rhythm.
Given that the cycle is appropriate, the mridanga
player will join in.
Since
all three types of accompaniment scenarios are mentioned, a mix bag of songs
are presented. Play the tala (or talas)
selected for each type and accompany them.
