What to Listen for:
Harp melody playing high notes during instrumental passages such as the introduction, as well as for the requinto countermelodies played simultaneously at a lower pitch
Bass notes of the harp on the downbeat of each 3/4 measure, and the jarana strumming on beats 2 and 3
Lead harp melody that complicates the basic pulse of the music through the use of arpeggiation, melodic ornamentation, or playing slightly earlier or later than expected
