Description
Three indigenous melodies from the island of Bali are presented in this charming suite for treble choirs. Drawing on a variety of primary sources based on extensive field research by Dr. Brent Talbot, each short song includes cultural background notes and a full pronunciation guide and translation. Arranger Matt Carlson adds simple vocal harmonies and counterlines sparingly, allowing the gorgeous melodies to shine. Piano accompaniments reflect compositional techniques of Balinese gamelan, the traditional instrumental music played across Indonesia.
