The music sounds very polyphonic and polyrhythmic, yet what seems to unify and “hold” the music together? (Answers may vary.)

What will be an ideal response?

• The continuously repeating drum pattern
• The rhythmical interlocking of all the parts
• The interweaving of the melody's four defining pitches (D, C, Bb, G) unifies and "holds" the music together (provides a sense of musical continuity).
