In our continuing exploration of new and interesting sounds and rhythms, the piece below is very unique. Igor Stravinsky is mentioned in your TEXTBOOK ON page 255.
Please do a google search on him and discuss in a few sentences the three countries in which he primarily lived and why.
As you listen to the piece, list the instruments that are playing. Pretty hard to tap you foot to it. Why do you think that is the case? I particularly like this piece. What do you think? You can be honest.
Stephen Leek is also discussed in the book and his piece Kondalilla is discussed. Find out where this name came from, it will be easy with some research, and then listen to the piece. The book refers to improvisation in the third movement. I have given you a recording of the entire piece since it is only 4:31 long. Where does the third movement begin and what is the part that is improvised and what are they doing?
Throughout the book Buddhadev Das Gupta is mentioned. You can find his biography with google research and you can find many recordings he has done.
He is still alive today and the video below is a short interview with him that was posted just a few months ago. Though I do not know when the actual interview was completed, it does seem to be contemporary. What do you think about fusion and what he is saying. I particularly like when he says that he has not played that specific instrument in a long time. True professionals are often very modest.
