These play-along tracks were recorded in cut time, half note = 60 bpm. You will hear four metronome clicks to lead you in. Tenor 1 starts on the fifth click. The whole piece is played twice through.

Performance notes: In bar 31, I suggest moving the D in the Tenor 2 part over to Tenor 1. If you have bass players that don't mind playing up high, the Tenor 2 part works nicely on bass, allowing for the A assigned to the bass part in bar 31 to be played (on bass) in the Tenor 2 part, resulting in a fluid musical line.
