Mesuree Mexicana, Duo for soprano saxophone and piano, score, part

Mesuree (1981) originally composed for the MASEK-SMITH Duo (Soprano Saxophone/Guitar) who performed it often in the heart of historical downtown at the Los Angeles City Triforium. A lilting quasi-Latino dance rhythm with 6 + 4 beats in each bar creates the measured music referred to in the title.
