McPHEE   Tabuh-Tabuhan
     ORFF   Carmina Burana
“Nuclear Gamelan”

The April 27/29 concert program also features Colin McPhee’s Tabuh-Tabuhan. Fascinated by the Balinese gamelan, McPhee became the first Westerner to study, survey and transcribe its music. Of his master work Tabuh-Tabuhan he writes, “I fused Balinese and composed motifs, melodies and rhythms to make a symphonic work. To transfer the intricate, chime-line polyphonic figurations of the gamelan…, I have used a ‘nuclear gamelan’ composed of two pianos, celesta, xylophone, marimba and glockenspiel.”

Hear this groundbreaking, exotic and thrilling work by a man whose name has become a household word in Bali for introducing the music of the gamelan to the west.

Maestro Neale and Michael Steadman of Gamelan Kori Mas discuss Tabuh-Tabuhan pre-concert both nights in Marin Center (6:30pm).

Collaborative publicity of this event provided by the Bali Institute for Global Renewal.
Carmina and the Media SOLD OUT
Sunday, April 27 at 6pm in the Green Room 

Hear Emmy award-winning composer Gary Malkin discuss the use of Carmina Burana in film and commercials.
