Bamboo Dreams with Cello

January 29, 2004

Thai Elephant Conservation 10-12 member  orchestra,
interview with composer and examples of music, including Pong's solo improvisational  chimes and Ganesha Symphony #1, C-sharp minor Thai scale plus Western diatonic scale.  Elephants respond to conductor, assisted sometimes by mahouts.

Musical geography somewhere between Stockhausen and schön. Bamboo Dreams with cello schön-er than most.
