It is 11:55 p.m. at the masquerade, and you're seeking the one who holds the key to your heart. Time is running out; you must quickly navigate through everyone in the party. During the search you dance along with the other invited guests, and even take a solo dance in front of the crowd. This prompts your beloved to reunite with you before the dramatic ending at midnight. This piece is set in G minor with a time signature of 2/4. Pay close attention to the accented details in this piece. Castanets play a big role in the style of this piece. Make sure all lyrical sections have the dynamic contrast that I have written. Be careful with upbeat rhythms that are found throughout this piece particularly at m. 79. You will want to slow the metronome down, maybe even adding a fake beat on one to help students understand the off-beat rhythm. There is also an optional trumpet or tenor saxophone solo part.
