2. Bright sounds of the marimba (like the xylophone). Fast tempo. (2:28)
*3. Voices accompanied by harp, guitar, violin. A mellow but lilting lullaby. Slow tempo. (1:46)
4. A dance tune. Another marimba selection. Fast tempo. (2:40)
*5. Pretty peals of harp and guitar. Some quiet background noise of voices and laughter. Mid-tempo. (2:19)
6. More festive marimba music. Like a march or circus music. Mid tempo. (3:14)
