Five more in 5/4

Here is the link I mentioned in class. National Public Radio is a great resource for a diverse and eclectic collection of music to hear. Your assignment is to listen to the five pieces of music presented in this link and comment on them right here on this blog. As you listen to the five pieces of music, see if you can find and feel the 5/4 beat.

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=94979223

When you listened, which piece of music was the easiest to hear the 5/4 beat? Which was the most difficult? What in the music made them easy or difficult to distinguish?
