Take Five, composed by Paul Desmond, arranged for classical guitar by Abigail James and performed here by classical guitarist Duncan Leigh.

Take Five appears in the ABRMS Grade 5 2019 classical guitar syllabus. From that publication:

"Take Five appeared on the 1959 LP record "Time Out" by the American jazz group the Dave Brubeck Quartet, and became a massive international hit. Brubeck composed most of the tracks on the album, using the unconventional time signatures for which he was renowned, but this piece in 5/4 was written by the quartet's saxophonist Paul Desmond. Each bar is regularly divided into three plus two beats. As well as alluding to the metre, the title is a familiar instruction to musicians to take a five minute break".
