At The Card Table was inspired by a scene from Casino Royale (2006), where Bond and a Russian Spy are at a card table. The Russian thinks he won, but then Bond gets a full house or something (I’m not a card player…) and the Russian loses everything and walks away. The music kind of tracks to that scene.
Percussion includes Marimba and Piano. There is a single note for Crotales, which could be played on orchestra Bells, or omitted.
