I. PERFORMANCE NOTES

	"New Position," from Parade, features a excellent bass line full of
motion. The song begans with a segue from the end of the first track,
Christopher Tracy's Parade. The bass lays out during the Intro. Rhythm Figure 1 begins at the first verse. Essentially, the song is composed of Rhythm Figure 1
and Rhythm Figure 2. Slight variations occur only at the end of the song.
The "run" that ends the song is quite tricky and is played very fast.
