About this arrangement

Chamber Music SKU: PO.PE026 Composed by Gareth Farr. Set of Score and Parts. Promethean Editions #PE026. Published by Promethean Editions (PO.PE026). ISBN 9781877218262.Kendhang Kalih (1990) is an engaging multi-percussion duet inspired by Javanese gamelan music. Each performer plays an independent arrangement of drums, but their rhythms lock into one another to produce the effect of a single large drum setup. The first section contrasts the two performers over a series of phasing repeats; one part becomes denser and quieter, the other becomes sparse and loud. The second section fuses them together in a minimalistic note-by-note construction of a "drum melody".
