Lou Harrison - Concerto in Slendro
Lou Harrison, Concerto in Slendro, 1. Allegro 2. Molto Adagio 3. Allegro; Molto Vigoroso.
Daniel Kobialka, violin;
Machiko Kobialka, tack piano I; James Barbagallo, tack piano II;
Patricia Jennerjohn, celesta; Don Marconi, Jerome Neff, percussion;
Robert Hughes, conductor
Lou Harrison wrote "The 'Concerto in Slendro' was mostly composed in 1961 aboard the S.S. New York en route to Japan. It is filled with my eager anticipation of the first taste of the beauty and bustle of Asia. The title derives from the fine Indonesian theoretical term denoting a five-tone mode in which the 'seconds' are roughly, 'major' (or large) and the 'thirds' 'minor' (or small). A complementary term 'Pelog' refers to the opposite kind of mode...'seconds' small and 'thirds' wide. This Concerto uses two Slendro type modes only... These two modes are perhaps the most common and generally loved of all man's modes- the first is practically the 'Human Song'... the two modes are heard in correct 'just intonation'...."
