Track 15 from Saydisc "Percussion Around the World" - notes from Maureen Hanke.
'Jameko' is a piece of music from England. It features a tabor, a type of drum which was traditionally played with the pipe. It had a snare and could be shallow, deep or very deep in size. In this piece a shallow tabor is played by a stick held in the right hand. Its main use was for dance music although it also provided a very economical one man band.
(In a music session the whole group could be asked to tap the rhythm of the tabor quietly. Give one person a tambour. Using an untuned instrument the teacher taps a short rhythm pattern - a sort of musical question - and asks the tambour player to give an answer without stopping. The tambour is then passed on to the next person. The teacher repeats the rhythm question for the next tambour player who plays an answer and passes the tambour on. Meanwhile the whole group must continue to tap the steady rhythm.
Listen to 'Jameko' again. Throughout the piece the tabor keeps a steady beat behind a series of musical questions and answers. Try to work out the structure by listening to the questions and answers. Are some questions and answers repeated? )
