I find it sounds best when you pick all the notes individually rather
than use hammer-ons or pull-offs. If you use one finger per fret
(1st finger - 9th fret, 2nd finger - 10th fret etc) then you can play about
90% of it without changing position.

Quirky harmony bit
Clarinet and Xylophone
Now it's basically the same tune again but played up two frets so
its in C#m instead of Bm. There is also a two part harmony going with
a few 'quirky' notes stuck in.
Play line 1B, then lines 2A-6A all moved up 2 frets and that will be
about right. If you want to be *really* picky, there is a note missed
out from line 6A (the third note - 9th fret G string).
Tune 1C
Strings and flute. Back in Bm.
This is a note-for-note copy of tune 1A except that the
first line has a few different notes.

Tune 1D
Glockenspiel
This variation is made up entirely of repeats of previous bits.
First play line 1B, then lines 2A - 6A.
(But miss out the third note in line 6A)
That tricky middle section
It would take me a long time to tab all of this part,
but it starts off like this :
E---------------------------------------------------|
B-------10--12--10--12--10--12--------10--12--10----|
G--9-11--------------------------9-11---------------|
D---------------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------------------|

G--9-11------------------------------------------------|

A------------------------------------------------------|
E------------------------------------------------------|
E--------------------------------9--------------------|
B----------------10-12-10----------12---12-12--10-----|
G--9-11--9-9--11------------9-11----------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------------|
E----------9-------------14-14-12--------------------------|
B-------10----12----12------------14----12--12-------------|
G--9-11------------------------------14---------11--11--9--|
D----------------------------------------------------------|
A----------------------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------|
etc etc
(N.B This whole tune is played in parallel 4ths. It's easier to
play the single notes as I've tabbed above, but if you want a
challenge try playing the two harmony parts on the lower strings.
Move the tune down an octave and then add a harmony part a 4th below.
It would start like this :
E-------------------------------------------|
B-------------------------------------------|
G------2-4--2--4--2--4-----2-4-2------2-4-6-|
D--2-4-2-4--2--4--2--4-2-4-2-4-2--2-4-2-4-6-| etc )
A--2-4-----------------2-4--------2-4-------|
E-------------------------------------------|
To get the hang of the rhythm here all I can suggest is practise
a lot ! After a lot of careful listening I was able to play along
up to this point - but it's hard to keep it going for the whole section!
It's made easier by the fact that the percussion beats out a steady
4/4 beat throughout this section to use as a reference.
The stuff that I've left out after here is quite a large chunk.
After a while the whole ensemble plays this little tune in unison :
E---------------------------------------------9--------|
B---12-12-10-12-12-10-12-12-10-12-12-10-12-12---10-12--|
G------------------------------------------------------|
D------------------------------------------------------|
A------------------------------------------------------|
E------------------------------------------------------|
E---10-9---------------9-------------------|
B--------12-10-12--12-------10--12---------|
G------------------------11----------------|
D------------------------------------------|
A------------------------------------------|
E------------------------------------------|
As before, this tune is actually played in 4ths. It's harder to play
the two parts at the proper speed, but if you want to try, here
is the 2-part version of the same tune :
E--7-7-5-7-7-5-7-7-5-7-7-5-7-7-9-5-7---10-9-7-5-7--7--9-----5--7--|
B--7-7-5-7-7-5-7-7-5-7-7-5-7-7-9-5-7---10-9-7-5-7--7--9--7--5--7--|
G--------------------------------------------------------6--------|
D-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------------------------|
After a few little phrases on the brass, there is another little tune
in 4ths (played on the piano). This one is OK to play at full speed as
it uses a couple of open strings to make it easier.
E---7--7-----7-7------2-2-4-0----------------14-14--|
B---7--7-----7-7-7----2-2-4-0----------------12-12--|
G----------------6--------------------2-4----11-11--|
D---------------------------------2-4-2-4-----------|
A---------------------------------2-4---------------|
E---------------------------------------------------|
E---7-7-0-0-2-2-4-0--------------------------|
B---7-7-0-0-2-2-4-0--------------------------|
G--------------------------------------------|
D--------------------------------------------|
A--------------------------------------------|
E--------------------------------------------|
Quirky harmony bit
Here it shifts key to C#m and you hear the trumpets play some long,
loud notes.
Play lines 1B then 2A-6A moving all notes up a whole tone (2 frets).
(Miss out 3rd note in line 6A).
Last time for Tune 1 !
Back to Bm.
Only the last line is different here, so repeat lines
1A - 11A then play this as the last line :
E----------9-----------------------------------------|
B---12-------10--------------12----------------------|
G------11-------9----------9-------------------------|
D---------------------9-11---------------------------|
A------------------11--------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------|
Optional gong crash on the last note !
I find it sounds best when you
..pick all the notes individually
..rather
than use hammer-ons or pull-offs.
..If you use one finger per fret
(1st finger - 9th fret, 2nd finger
..- 10th fret etc) then you can
..play about
90% of it without changing
..position.

Quirky harmony bit
Here it shifts key to C#m and you
..hear the trumpets play some
..long,
loud notes.
Play lines 1B then 2A-6A moving
..all notes up a whole tone (2
..frets).
(Miss out 3rd note in line 6A).
Last time for Tune 1 !
Back to Bm.
Only the last line is different
..here, so repeat lines
1A - 11A then play this as the
..last line :
E----------9----------------------
B---12-------10--------------12---
G------11-------9----------9------
D---------------------9-11--------
A------------------11-------------
E---------------------------------
